I park my car when I'm unloading family/stuff.

Thank heavens I turned it around and parked in the drive instead--I'd have a smooshed car.

I wasn't planning on sawing tomorrow, but that looks like it is on the schedule. Grrr!

Oh well, it'll make nice firewood.

It has quieted down here, only lost small limbs that I can see. This after Mondays storm in my area. Wind thunder hail and torrential rain and the scariest low clouds you have ever seen. Lucky me, I was out in it.

Make sure you get the sawing done early, our heat index looks pretty bad as well. At least you will enjoy some fires come winter, MADem.

Stay safe.

love a nice spell (three-four days) of rain here. It really is a scorcher today! Got hot already around 9 this morning!

My electric bill is going to be sky-high, but I have a Pug and a Chow and they can't take even the slightest heat, so air-co is on pretty much all day and most of the night.

I sorry. Stay cool, BlueCaliDem.

Gonna do my darnedest, she! And thank you.

Wow!! Such fun!!

Was at a concert/fireworks event to kick off the Peabody 100 Celebration. We did get through most of the "acapella" singers, and were waiting for the Navy Band, when, suddenly, the fireworks show started unexpectedly!!

----Oh, wait!!!---- That was thunder and lightning with very strong winds and a probable micro-burst. More than a little scary!

Several small trees in the area were damaged/down.

Got home safely, and am looking forward to maybe seeing the fireworks tonight instead. Likely no Navy Band, though!
