This and That

I had taken my P&S camera out to try and get some

nighttime photos of the full moon & Jupiter and when I

downloaded the images I found the final photos I had taken

of Mina. I didn't know they were there and when I saw them

I just cried so hard. These were taken in July sometime. I had just

found the old P &S and it was easier to use to try and capture

photos of Mina & the kittens. Seeing those images and not expecting

them just took my breath away and brought it all back.

I see the kittens Daddy and I wonder why is he still OK,

and Mina isn't. Not that I'm wishing ill on him, but why did she

have to go? She was just slowly, oh so slowly, getting relaxed.

She would come up to my legs and rub and she would let me

give her scritches. It just saddens me to no end.

                                So while I was out looking for the moon all of a sudden there a

BIG BOOM, and all the cats scattered.

I look up and my next door neighbor is shooting off fireworks.

This is from my driveway.

I was not a happy camper at all.

All the cats inside and out were terrified.

This went on for about 30 minutes and there wasn't any rhyme or reason.

I mean this was just a few days before Isaias.

                                             The shoe I was waiting to drop is that limb.

These are not my trees. They sit on the property next to mine. But I've had to deal

with the fallout every time. I know the scale is hard to understand, but that limb

is about 250lbs. Yep, it fell. It actually fell on the 4th. I was glad I got the photo of it

hanging by a thread.

*sigh*

There is always problems with my property line trees.

During 2016 after Irma I had all those trees you see in this picture trimmed,

as much as I could because the mess they gave me after Irma was awful.

Over the past 5 yrs I've taken down 17 trees on my property and have been working

on getting every standing tree trimmed.

I am almost through with all the trees on the property.

Once I get ALL the work done I will be able to just have the tree company

come out and do maintenance on the entire yard yearly. I love trees but

not during storms.
