Dinner by candlelight...

no, not because it's close to Valentine's Day.



All I could yell was "Thank You God it fell the other way!" as I was standing at the kitchen window cleaning up from lunch. This is the tree we tried to "gently" tell our next door neighbor to take care of this summer.



It was way too close to the place where the boys like to dig (as you can see from the picture below). Well, it fell during the wind storm yesterday and the weight of it split the utility pole in two and pulled all the wires and our electric box completely from the house.

It could have chosen the path of the Holly tree where the boys picnicked just the day before.



Our backyard became a danger zone as the BGE employees worked through the night to restore power.



Yes, I do believe He was watching over us!
