Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

The storm rolled in this afternoon around 1 p.m.  I didn’t even noticed it not til my coworkers were crowding the windows at work looking at the sky that turned day to midnight.  Then the thunder said hello to us and followed by its friend, the lightning.  Then the one that got me running to the window was the sound of “tik tak”, “tik tak” against the windows.  First thing that came to my head were hail.  Dang, not when my car is sitting outside.  I could not see anything outside.  It was too dark, the street lights were on, too, but still could not see much.  The much needed rain was a help for the yard.

After the storm passed, DB called me informing me about the maple tree standing tall next to our front side of the house, providing great shade for the bedroom and bathroom.  This tree need to go.  It will not live half naked.  The tree and stump removal guys were here and gave us some estimates.  DB will pick one of them and will have them remove the tree plus debris probably tomorrow.  Goodbye Mr Maple, the tree removal guy said your roots are already choking you.  We were actually hoping for the scrawny looking tree at the very front to go first, but that fella is staying strong.  So which tree will go next year? Last year was the Ash tree.  Hope not anymore, if not the yard will be bare and there will be no shade for the house.  We will be really cooking in the house then.
