We have been going through a very bad storm this week. It is finally beginning to calm down. The last two days have been constant, pounding winds and torrential rain. It got really cold last evening and it has been raining/sleeting/snowing today. I'm pretty sure our apple tree is permanently over to one side from the wind. Remember our appleless apple tree? It doesn't look like that anymore :( My peonies and gladiolus are all smashed flat (good thing they're all finished for the year). A lot of branches have come off the trees and our garbage bins are laying flat on the ground (nothing fell out thanks to my raccoon proof bungee cord). We are thankful there hasn't been any serious damage here and we haven't lost power.
In other news... we are under squirrel invasion again. It's the time of year when the squirrels realise you no longer have a cat around and decide to take over your property. Those of you who know me personally know about my long history with squirrels. I had one living with me for at least a week, sleeping in my bed when I went to work. Said squirrel bit me twice when I finally captured it. I've trapped at least 10 in a humane trap and released them far out in the woods. We've had a squirrel in our bathroom.
Squirrels are cute where they belong - OUTSIDE. Squirrels are not cute when you're staring them down in your house.
Hopefully, they'll just stay outside, relaxing in our lawn chairs and scampering across our roof.
And now for your viewing pleasure, a clip from our storm.
Hope you're somewhere warm and dry tonight. Thanks for visiting!
