Diversionary Tactics

Well last Friday we went out to dinner and then stopped by a club for a while. Guess we arrived home around midnight to a dark house. Neighbor had power it seemed so after stumbling about a bit getting candles and flashlights I headed out back to the breaker panel. Well it was easy to find since all the wires leading up to it were hanging about a foot off the ground. Appears a storm passed thru and broke a branch off the oak. Our giant staghorn fern tumbled but survived. Guess the branch ripped out our power, cable and phone line when it fell. Took out our neighbors too. So the weekend plan changed and I cleaned up a big mess. Sadly we had a really neat hybiscus tree get tumped over as well. Dug it up and replanted it but had to slice a major root. Only time will tell, but it isn't happy so far.

Well at least the pup had some fun! Lots of nice fresh wood to chew.
