Stormy Weather...

We've had some wild weather here today! For a big part of the afternoon and evening, there was a tornado watch. Thankfully, we didn't have one, just a lot of rain and straight line winds.

Here's a video of the rain and wind blowing through the trees - these are mature trees, so it was moving some heavy timber!


We didn't get away totally unscathed. A fair size limb blew down out of one of the walnut trees in the back yard.

The wind also blew down part of the pallet fence The Farmer built around my lilac bush and trumpet vine to keep the goats from eating them.

All things considered, we didn't fare too badly. Just a lot of wind, and almost 2 inches of rain, which we really need!

Perhaps there's still a silver lining to every cloud?
