    1. [ML] Woke up with a bang
    2. Shirley Sullivan
    3. Well, we woke up with a bang, I was having cramps in the calf's of my legs, was trying to get them positioned so they wouldn't cramp, I heard this terrible sound, thought someone may have crashed out side our house, we got up, put my slippers and robe on, and ran outside, a big branch split off one of our big trees out front, broke off and was laying from where the tree stood, to half way into the street. It was still dark, we were afraid someone would run into it, so my husband moved our truck into the street, right in front of the branch that was in the street, left his light on. We called the police and they sent someone out to cut in up enough so they could pull it out of the street. My husband said he would cut up the rest of the tree for fire wood, and stack it in back. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A GOOD IDEA !! HE HAS A BAD HEART, but you can't tell him anything !!! We have had a lot of wind off and on over the last two weeks, must have weakened that branch on the tree, that's all I can think for why it just snapped off. It's pretty windy right now, I can see the palm tree on the next street, and it's just going back and forth with the wind. We have also tried the up side down tomatoes, got a few little ones that's all, not worth the work !!! Marilyn, your day sounds good and fruitful, I love Pork roast, I think they have the most flavor, it make the best gravy too. I found a baby bird under one of those big trees out front yesterday, head gone, I think it was a mocking bird, heard them singing many a morning. We get blue birds, and lots of little birds, but I have never seen a Red Cardinal ever, we don't get them out here in Southern California. When we use to go RVing, we use to watch the birds around the campgrounds, having the patients to sit still and watch birds, must come with age. Yesterday, I saw the first Gardenia this year on my bush, many more buds, looks like soon I can sit out there and enjoy the fragrance, how sweet is that !!! Sully, in sunny but windy California
