A Close Call

A shot of our back yard looking out our bedroom window.

We have been experiencing more thunderstorms than usual this summer. The past two nights have been evidence of this as we lay in bed listening to thunder peal across the sky.

Last night there was more than rain falling, though. We woke up and discovered one of the trees in our back yard had succumbed to the forces of nature.

I was not thrilled with the idea of a downed tree, but I was so thankful that it did not fall toward the house. The last thing we need now is damage to our Swedish abode a week before we leave. So.... Thank You, God!
