You know the old saying that you should be careful of what you wish, for you may surely get it.
We’ve gotten it, all right. Rain. Every evening for the past several weeks. Mostly it’s been in the evening, but occasionally during the day as well.
We received a message the other night, from the condo association president saying that we needed to be careful if we were leaving the building as a tree had fallen onto our street, just 2 buildings down from us. Take a look.
You can see the dark grey building to the left; that’s the building similar to ours, just next door to us. The tree is one that I walk by when I’m walking in the park.
It wasn’t an old tree, it was young, still growing, so I’m not sure what happened. I don’t recall hearing a thunder clap loud enough, or close enough to produce a bolt of lightning that would have fallen it.
Here’s one more shot of it from the condo president’s living room window. I can only surmise that she lives in the front of the building, thus the view of the park.
That was about 11pm the night of the 2nd, and it was completely gone when we went to the store around 11am the next morning. Crazy, huh?!
Each evening I go to our bedroom window, and inhale the wonderful scent of rain, enjoying the lightning, then the thunder. In fact, as I was beginning to type this post, the thunder was so loud we both said we had better prepare for the power to go out.
Fortunately it hasn’t happened yet.
Until next time, stay happy, healthy, and safe. Wash, cover, and protect yourselves.
