Hi Peeps! Night before last we had some BAD storms through here and yesterday morning Dad was out in the yard and discovered we lost the tops of two BIG trees! Snapped right over and are just suspended on other limbs up in the trees. What a sad sight really – to see a HUGE 100 ft. tree with about a third of its’ trunk snapped almost off. There’s another one in the front yard like that – one of our pretty orange maples. One way to look at it is there will be fewer leaves to get off the ground with those big trunks gone – but the other way is to be sad beause the trees look so SAD with their branches off.
We’re actually going to have more rain tonight but hopefully not with the accompanying high winds. You know I hate lightning, thunder and even heavy rain…………I head for the basement!
Gee….I wish it would stop raining…..not as many birds to watch!
Mom and Dad are taking a mini-trip today – will be coming home tomorrow – so please forgive me if I don’t visit you until Sunday ok? It’s not that I don’t love all of you – – – – I do! – – – – but I’m just not as good on the keyboard (in spite of the fact I have thumbs) as my Mom is. She’s a mighty fine secretary….so when she gets back I’ll do some catching up with all of you. I’m sure you know what I’ll be doing while they’re gone….
Mom and Dad – hurry home – I miss you!!
Guess I’ll just sleep here on Grandma’s chair all day since I have no nice, warm “Mommy lap” available! Sniff…..
Happy Caturday!
Kitty hugs, Sammy 😀

It’s sad to lose a big old tree……or even a PART of a big old tree……but these storms have been real “baddies” – they hit hard, and are over before you know it but there’s a lot of damage along the way. Sniff Sniff.

Hi Mollie! Loved your Halloweeeeeeeeenie photos on your blog this morning! Too cool! The tree damage is very sad but I suppose by now we should be used to seeing stuff like that – we live by the woods and there are huge trees everywhere. We’ve been lucky none of the trees or branches have fallen on my HOME SWEET HOME!

That is so sad Sammy about your trees. That must have been some storm! We are having 5 of our dead from the drought Oak trees taken down next week. We are sad too but CH said exactly what you said. Less leaves to suck up in the leaf super sucker, less trees to mow around. But we feel the pain of your trees being damaged, one of your maples?!!! I know your MoM and Dad are going to have a wonderful weekend and they get to cruise in their new car! And I bet they are going to have good FOOD and be with friends 😀 Snooze a little and play with your tissue and they will be home before you know it with big hugs for Sammy!

Hi Miss Pix….so you have to take down some trees too – you know like we do how sad it is to see them go! Well, if they’re dead they need to go – and if they have severe damage like ours they need to be trimmed back. Dad’s gonna call someone next week about it. I hope the squirrels will forgive us – they love racing around through the treetops. Yes, I’ll be just fine today – plenty of things to do. Mom gave me a fresh load of tissue yesterday and my toybox/wagon is full of toys to play with….PLUS Mom left me a bowl of treats so I’m SET. They’ll be home tomorrow…..AND they deserve a getaway ONCE in a while (but not too often..tee hee).

Hang in there, Sammy! I love your little window perch. I wish I had one. I’m too tiny to see out the window, unless I stand on the arm of the chair and balance myself on the window sill. I hope you’re not too lonely. Take a nap. Oh, I guess you already know that…..

I sorry about your trees Sammy. I love our maple. Lots of birds and squirrels live in it and I can see them from two different windows. I’m glad that the broken off part of your trees didn’t fall and damage anything. Our neighbor has a dead tree in the back of their yard that the humans worry about coming down on our house. We’re glad you all are safe after the storm.

Hi Sammy,
I agree: it’s always sad to lose a tree, or eveb a good part of it. I hope you won’t get any of these high winds again.
Here, we had a nice rain – not too much at a time, but for quite a few hours – and without any high winds. Luckily, as there was some lightning and thunder. Which made sally ever so afraid. As usual, she retired to the farthest corner she could reach. Poor girl. But now she’d happily snoring again. 😉
Have a great weekend, and Sally & the feline crew send their “wuff” and “meow”,
