The woods turn nasty

Some time in the night this huge tree came down from the woods. The deck stairs and railing are toast but miraculously, the pool is intact. As big a mess as it looks, the water level is unchanged.  Looks like my float and chair have had it too. Firewood anyone?    This weather has an odd  change of season feel to it  with a steady driving rain and thunder that sounds more like the Hudson Valley than the Piedmont of Georgia, deep and far away.
Meanwhile, I'm off for the first time in nine days and I'm holed up in the studio playing with a little Caribbean fun - some of the leftovers from that last kids quilt just seemed so right together.

Goodness gracious - that's weird, guess the tree got tired of standing around - lolol. At least you weren't in the pool when the wood fell...hey, cord that wood up and sell it!

Broken trees are all too familiar, since our ice storm last January. Many things are still showing the damage. Sorry you had damage to your home. Must have been rather noisy. Our storm sounded like in-coming bombs. Not fun!!
