Mother Nature is a bitch. She tried to kill my dog on Wednesday night. You see we had strong storms, even a tornado, in the area during the day. They blew through during the day and were done by dinner.
Then when I took Libs out one last time before bed there was a big swirl of wind, a branch cracked and there was a loud thud in the yard. Libby came running up onto the deck scared and when I looked I saw the above branch, measuring around 4 feet long and the circumference of my arm, stuck in the group like a javelin thrown down by Zeus. The branch drove about 6 inches into the ground and was in the corner of the yard where Libby loves to jump at the fence and bark at the things (opossum, raccoon, aliens) that reside on the other side of the fence.
It freaked us both out and I'm just glad she was five feet to the left when it happened.
