After the storm ~

I posted these on my Facebook page last night ~

we had a bad storm come through at about 4:15 last evening...

only lasted for 1/2 an hour, but it was intense!

took down my old, old black walnut in the back of the farmhouse ~

nearly missing the back of what is our pantry and breakfast nook:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ wow ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

little Minew was so scared...

 I HATE when big old trees come down ~

this one was almost completely hollow and it had seen better days

 ~ many of them as I figure it to be a good 50 - 60 yr old tree...

the blacksnakes would slither into the branches of this old tree 

 ~ and sun themselves on early spring mornings.

The baby hummingbirds would rest on the smaller leaves 

near the edge of the tree's canopy and chitter to their parents ~

I will miss the shade it provided for us as well as shelter for our fur & feather friends ~

it's time has come and Mother Nature always knows best so Peter will take what wood he can salvage and I know he'll use it to make something beautiful.

goodbye ~ old friend

 It is hot, humid and sticky out again today.

I do not like it this way. 

at all. I don't like the farmhouse closed up with the air on ~ 

... I'd rather it be wide open with cool breezes flowing through it.

BUT

since I'm in here, and working in my sewing room I decided to spiffy it up.

( I tend to be a messy creator!)

here is my 'hub'

yes, that is a Mac and a laptop.

...both on simultaneously.

always.

i added a chair to the other side of my desk for visitors.
(ok....Peter, Flea and of course Iggy.)

thank you for visiting my auctions!

Have a peaceful & creative day my Friends ~
