Storm in the night

After a night of tornado and flood warnings, we woke up to fallen tree branches! Fortunately, no one and no buildings or fences were damaged. Cindy was able to get the fallen branches off the fence and out of the horse pasture - a tree removal company will come later to take the rest of the tree and some damaged limbs from other trees.
 On another positive note, we seem to have gone from summer into autumn overnight - it was hot and humid last night, but chilly out this morning.
   Happily, as you can see in the picture below, this huge tree limb missed the building next door as well as the gravestones and the hummingbird feeder on our property.
   Stay safe everyone, and have a great day!

Wish List Wednesday

Yes, here we are to Wednesday again, the best day for wishes, so Sister Mary asked me to write about our  Wish List . Canned cat food is right at the top of things we really need this week, and then paper towels, and horse treats (horse treats are not really a NEED, but the horses think they are, and we like to keep them happy!). Thank you for thinking of us. Love, Gus PS Sister Mary did not give me a puzzle for this message . . . please let us know if you want to have puzzles in the blog - I think they are a fun break to my reading and writing and sleeping and eating and playing, but I wonder if anyone else likes them too?

Baby chicks and diamonds in the tree

Our Board member Aimee Lauer brought four little chicks this morning - they were rescued from Craig's List. As far as we can tell, two Easter Eggers and two Legbars. This weekend is a strange mixture of weather - rain, wind, and sometimes moments of sun. The  sunlight in the tree  this morning made the wet leaves and branches look as though they were decorated with diamonds. We are hoping and praying that Hurricane Florence will miraculously weaken, although current maps show East Coast landfall and predictions are that the storm may be a category 4. Stay tuned . . .
