When you live on a lake, and have many trees in your back yard it seems that it is inevitable that some limbs will fall. This is the second one to fall in about a month. Strong thunderstorms with gusting winds are doing a number on my trees. Luckily, so far my home has been spared, thank God! It looks like I’ll be putting that new chain saw to use this coming weekend. This storm came up suddenly. I had just got home, the sun was shining and the sky was blue, the next thing I know, it got dark, the wind started blowing, hail was hitting the house and I heard the limb fall. I looked outside and there it was, complete with bird nest and all. There is a small table and chairs set right under the limb and believe it or not, they don’t appear to have any damage.

I feel like I’m rolling the dice living here, and sooner or later the laws of average may just catch up with us. But, we will continue to live here as long as the Lord allows. The lake continues to rise with all of this rain, and it is already over part of my sea wall. Hopefully, the levee will hold another year. That’s the update, God Bless and have a great day!
