And in the midst of this weather, we lost one of our trees. It was nice old flowering plum tree that I always parked my car under to get the shade. Luckily my car wasn't parked there yesterday or else it'd be flattened now!
Here is a picture of the sad old tree.
I'm going to miss it. We never even got to see it bloom with flowers because we moved in during the summer. But we did get the pleasure of seeing it filled with plums. They tasted pretty good too. The birds certainly thought so. They'd eat the plums and then poop out purple crap onto our cars. So maybe I won't miss that part as much?
But it was still a nice tree and now it's gone. The neighbors across the street from us lost their plum tree too. It tipped right over and crashed into the yard. Thankfully away from the house. But the people around the corner weren't as lucky. They had a big oak tree fall on their roof.
We're supposed to get more rain today so I think it's a good time to just stay indoors and do nothing. Not that I had a ton of plans anyway. We never do anything really. But now we don't have to feel lazy for wanting to stay at home all day!
I hate wind though. Like, really hate it. I've already told people here before that I'm prone to panic attacks because I'm such a ball of nerves all the time. Well, wind freaks me out. I think in a past life, I must have died in a tornado or a hurricane or something involving wind. Just the sound of it whipping against the house makes my heart race. I'm a little crazy.
Do you have any weird phobias like that? It could just be me....

PS: Maybe I should have gotten the tornado and hurricane insurance policy for my laptop after all?
