If you live in MD, remember couple days ago? Our neighborhood had terrible Wind storm?!

While I was sleeping I could hear the thunder and the wind clashing on our house...(our house is on the top of the hill too..) I thought our roof was going to crumble down or something since I heard this large THUD! But I was still alive so I went back to sleep.

In the morning...my mom, Young, woke and and as always opened the back door to the deck for Nine for his um 'morning ritual'...and realized the back yard somehow 'looked' wider and brighter than usual...Hmmmm

We had two trees right by the deck which covers our house from other neighbors (and birds used to nest there too...sorry birds) It wasn't there...

It was over there...lying around...poor tree...

Completely rooted out. Nine sniffing around the poor tree...after his morning ritual. Guess he knew something wasn't right too.

These are our poor trees...ex-home for our pretty birds and their eggs...(and some squirrels too)...sigh

One thing we should be thankful is that those trees didn't hit anything else. One tree almost fell on the fence but we flanked it so it wouldn't fall down to the neighbor's. Whew...lucky it didn't come into our deck too.

So basically our house is so bare now...years ago when Maryland had very bad storm, all three trees on our front yard fell. That was kinda amazing that every tree avoided hitting our 4 parked cars and just managed to fall between cars. I wish I could show you! Our neighbor came out and was so amazed at how trees were nice enough to not dent...err..damage our cars. But very hot summers now...whew...

So in the future...note to myself...don't buy houses on the top of the hill....!!!
