the tree that was

the plum tree in the front yard was picked up by a gust of wind and laid over on it's side. it missed one of the kids standing on the porch, watching the storm by mere inches.
it was a nice tree even though i never could get any plums off of it because the birds were just a bit smarter about it than i, when it came to getting there first.

micheal had pruned it back hard one year and it was looking real good.
oh well, it was in front of the door anyway.

went driving the farm roads and saw that most everyone has a tree or "several" trees down. chainsaws are firing up like mad.

and more animals! like lots! of them - what the hell

i have one cat and one cat only and half the time she isn't even here anymore. and she is old!! and cranky!!
so, how come all the sudden there are now 7 cats hanging out at my house??
i am not going to feed them. i am not!!
2 of them are kittens and the calico colored one has a bloody spot on it's neck. guess i will at least nurse that and make sure it's not serious.
