Mother Nature trying to ruin my trip!





There was a terrible wind and rain storm to hit Rice Friday afternoon. It really did a number on our yard. Ten trees broke off or ripped out by the roots. I don't know how many limbs and branches came down. The power is still off Saturday night, probably will be until Monday sometime. Some of the trees were two feet or more in diameter. The big one behind the shop pulled out by the roots and landed on top of the shop going thru the roof and ceiling! A big tree in the north yard knocked down and took out the power line as well as a couple in front of the house. One landed on top of the wrought iron fence, bending it up. Its a real mess. The tree service boom truck got stuck in the grass so its all torn up.
The last week,Elvis has been pruning the shrubs, fixing the water bubbler bird bath and getting ready for the "Completion Celebration" on the 29th and now this.....its a mess. My son-in-law, and three grandsons, some friends and neighbors are all helping out. The tree service has been there for two days and will be for several more. Thanks to all of them it will get cleaned up
