Storms and Blessings

Last Monday we had a crazy wind storm. It had been a little breezy and threatening to rain all day. I was down at Lena's Cabin visiting when the wind began to get stronger and the rain came. She ran outside to move her car from under the tall fir trees by her house. Before she was even back inside, huge limbs fell from the trees. They landed on the porch roof, fell right where her car had been, and destroyed her patio table. From her window, I could see, and hear, trees falling by our house.

Once the wind calmed, we went up to our place to survey the damage. Two big trees fell alongside our road, and one dead tree fell towards our house. It should have hit our house, but for some reason, right before it did, the top broke off and landed about 10 feet to the side.

Peter can touch our roof and the tip of the tree simultaneously. You can see three big chunks of the tree in our driveway. We moved those pieces today and they're very heavy. I'm so thankful they didn't land on our roof.
