You a are so funny. We had rain and wind last night but nothing blew over thank goodness. Woke up in the night with the rain pelting the end of the trailer. It is funny what you get used to with the electricity. sure is dim when you are by candle light or lamp. I don't know how any one had good eye sight reading and doing hand work in lamp light. Yes, if the county can clean it up out of the road have them do it. that is what you pay taxes for. I think. We were out one year for almost three days with a bad storm here in the valley. Had had alot of rain and then strong south wind. We had pine trees at the south end of the yard and it didn't break them off just blew them out by the roots. One landed on the trailer, but wasn't bad, they just went really slow going over. Then down the drive to the main road the neighbors trees went also and they took out the power lines. I called the kids and every one came on Sat. had to go through the neighbors yard and started sawing up. Thank god for your kids some times. One thing we had qite a bit of wood for a while. Also almond wood, Steve had some one come in at work and had lost alot of almond trees and was selling it at about 10 dollars a pickupload all you could get on all cut up. Latched on to that believe me. He even brought it out to us. Well sun is shinning today a little north wind so kind of cold, but no rain. We have had so much this year. Good and bad. Now raining high in the mountains so the snow will melt. A lake that Steve goes to in the summer some of the guys had gone into on snowmobiles and they said the snow was so high they could hardly find the lake. So alot there. gotta go.
