Speechless, but feeling lucky, after the storm.

It has been a busy week.
I was off Monday and we spent the day goofing off. 
Monday night, a storm came in and it was a doozy.
We woke up Tuesday morning to find one of our old oaks, down across the driveway.
Good thing we were not planning on going anywhere in a hurry. 
 What a mess.
We were very lucky though.
If the wind had been blowing the other way, this tree would have taken out all three vehicles that were parked out front.
 See what I mean, we were not going anywhere in a hurry.
I told you we were lucky.
The tree guys were able to come out right away.
It took them quite a while to clear the way.
 Fallen giant.
This was such a lovely old tree.
We were much luckier than this guy.
I believe he is a former resident.  
After.  
We lost a ceder too.
Once again, we were lucky, it did not hit anything. 
The house lost a little trim too, but we were able to find all the pieces and it is already fixed. 
Just down the road where we walk,
two trees came down together.
I can't tell which one started it but they made quite a mess.
Our power went out during the storm and stayed out till late Tuesday evening. 
This interesting fellow was supposed to be my Wordless Wednesday post.
Check out that tail.  
Another interesting visitor.
I wonder what he will look like when he grows up. 
The dogwood is blooming! 
Flowers in the rock garden.
As for speechless, I lost my voice because of allergies.
My family who reads this will think this is quite funny as my Father always insisted the "Chatty Cathy" doll was named after me.    :)
Lucky for me, I have the next three days off and my Sweet Hubby says he will take care of me.
Cheers,
Kat
