Nelson Eddy Would Love Me

It’s been averaging
over 100 degrees here (figuring with the heat index)
and very dry as well. But, we had a storm last night.
Thunder. Lightning. Intermittent power outages.
Oveflowing downspouts. Lasted about 2 and half hours.
Just down the street, a neighbor’s huge Oak tree blew
over into the road, blocking traffic to the local
swim club (which had its own problems early Sunday:
the Club House burned to the ground in the wee hours
of the morning!) You’d think the rain might’ve cooled
things off a bit. Well, temporarily, yes, but now the
humidity is oppressive.
We have six large trees in our front yard and one very large one in the back. Lost a relatively smallish branch from the back yard, which barely missed putting a hole through the cover of the hot tub. In the front yard, we only lost one branch as well, but it was a doozy. I spent the better part of the morning cutting it into smaller pieces to bundle for curb side pick up next week.
When I came in the house after wrestingling branches, Jo told me to look in the mirror. I figured I had mud on my face or something, but no. I saw this:
So, it’s official. I’m really just a big sweatheart....(Please click here for rimshot).
