Just don't let it happen again, buddy! A lot of lawns are depending on you!

(just kidding, but lawns are depending on you)...

I was a touch busy this week. We had a hyper-severe thunderstorm that's being investigated to see if that was a tornado that hit us.

I was in it. It may or may not have been, but did a tremendous amount of damage. I lost every large dahlia in the garden, half the pots, and a host of other things required cleanup. Home Depot yesterday morning was kind of like a neighborhood block party.

I got lucky; three houses down had major damage, a block up lost trees and somehow lost the street sign at the edge. It's just gone.

Our Township's scheduled a special pickup for all the garbage and broken limbs and whatnot. Fortunately, everything I have fit in the compost bin once ground up, although I still have to blow off more surfaces into the lawn and mow that in.

Wow. Crazy weather lately. I heard yesterday a woman was killed by a falling tree limb.

I am not surprised, looking at the limbs that came down around here. Some must have weighed hundreds of pounds easily. Whole trees cracked and fell.

Fortunately, the weather looks more stable for the next ten days or so before we go right back into the heavily unstable pattern we've had since early June.

Feelin' it for ya. Couple years ago we lost all the trees on the west side of our lot. Considering our lot is only 90 feet wide and none of the trees to the center or east were hurt, that was quite a storm. Weather can be weird.
