Last night we got the first of what looks to be a week-long Thunderstorm event. Around 1 Allen and I were both awoken by huge crashes of thunder and strobe-like lightening. The power went off, so I sent Allen to check on our dark-sensitive child, Emma, who was already cowering in her bed scared out of her wits. Allen brought her to me in bed, where she promptly curled up with me then explained that she'd woken up and her froggy light was turned off. Next Allen returned with Mary Claire, who was still asleep, but given her bed's position directly under a window, we thought best to let join us as well. Luckily Olivia decided not to let a the huge racket get in the way of her full night's sleep. Surveying the damage this morning, we have some leaning/broken apple trees, the top of one of our pecan trees setting neatly behind both vehicles, a few random other trees down, limbs disbursed, etc. And winning most frustrating would be the wet seed packets. Yes, Allen did some planting last night and left the seed tray in the lean-to off the back of the house. Any normaly storm would not have bothered them, but this was no normal storm, and they got wet. They are currently covering my entire table in an attempt to get them all dried out and not be a complete loss (*sigh*).
Crossing my fingers that the rest of the storms this week will be kind to us (and to you).
