Firewood

Yesterday nosotros called together with asked my dad if nosotros could pick out some firewood dorsum from the lake inwards a few weeks. Last nighttime nature had its ain thought together with gave us our ain furnish correct inwards our dorsum yard!

I snapped amongst with my prison theater cellular telephone when I woke upwards this morning.

Yes, it is CHARRED. It was struck past times lightning.

I estimate nosotros stimulate got our function cutting out for us now, but nosotros volition stimulate got a practiced furnish of firewood for a while! Really, the end affair nosotros needed was some other project, but I am thence thankful that this didn't autumn on our house, on us or on anyone else. Things could hold upwards much worse! Like this:

14 ability lines down!

Just upwards the route at that spot were xiv ability lines downwards from the wind! We were "lucky" together with got our ability dorsum some 6:30 (just inwards fourth dimension for work...ugh). I would've liked the ability to rest off a piffling longer thence I could slumber together with thence become to the java store to function today.

So, for now, this is our novel sentiment until nosotros decide if nosotros tin preserve what is left or if nosotros should only stimulate got the whole affair downwards thence it doesn't blow the other direction onto our shed adjacent fourth dimension at that spot is a bad tempest (which according to weather.com is supposed to hold upwards inwards nearly seven hours).
