    ...and I slept right through it. [​IMG]

    I woke up to this:
    This branch broke and fell about 40 feet and almost clobbered my maple tree me and DH planted when we bought this place.

    Stormed here, too, Trisha. It really pounded.

    DH said there was a huge branch down in the front and I was like "how on earth did that happen"...he said "are you kidding? You didn't hear the storm last night? It was storming hard!" I never heard not one clap of thunder all night. I was dead to the world. [​IMG]

    Trisha, we did not get a single drop here in Sanford. I'm just glad your damage was minimal, it looks like it could have been much worse.

    I was gonna say the same thing Laura, not a drop. Send the rain our way, even if it is a storm! [​IMG]

    Ashley I think WRAL said last night that we are going to get some rain tonight. I hope so anyway. It sure will help with the water bill, I won't have to water the garden.

    we had some wind a rain early in the afternoon but it got sunny and it was beautiful and breezy last night its really nice today only about 80 with a nice breeze and sunny the hens are really laying 10 eggs yesterday from 11 hens and I am sitting out and they are certainly screaming his afternoon! I am glad nothing was damaged it is always scary to have trees break around your.

    I have a rainstick. Anyone need rain? I swear everytime it gets too dry around here, I just wave my rainstick - in an hour or so, I get rain. My sister lives a few miles away and doesn't get any rain.

    I just need to figure out how to send it out to people who need it. [​IMG]
