Holy Crap-o-moley....

Have I mentioned how much I'm tired of the rain? Seriously... we've had so many storms that it's becoming annoying. Well, tonight I come home and it's actually a financial burden!

When I arrive home after 8, I see that my neighbor's tree (behind my house) has a limb that has come down and is in another neighbor's backyard. Hmmm... let's hope that nothing has happened to my little humble abode.

Wishful thinking. I look into my backyard and see what I "think" is ice. Nope. It's shattered glass. My patio table has completely exploded and the umbrella snapped (as evidenced in the picture). It must have been some storm to do that!

The umbrella, as you can see, is lying against the house. There is a patio chair turned over on top of it, and it's been ripped. I'm telling you... I had NO idea this was going to happen today. I noticed that my plants in the backyard look like they've been through hell... they are all beaten down. Not only did the backyard take a direct hit, but the front yard has downed limbs. I have a crepe myrtle that has been "crepe murdered!"

So, I guess I need to find a top for the table and a new umbrella. It's nice to not have to pay for watering the yard, but this is ridiculous! And, for those that know me pretty well, you KNOW how much this bugs me. The patio is probably my favorite "room" of the house. Oh well... guess it's time to redecorate!
