It's Sweetnesday!
Last Saturday, we had severe winds, with gusts that brought down part of a HUGE Maple tree in a neighbor's yard:
 |
| Tree fell across neighbor's garage and cars, then over the alley... |
 |
| (Close up of smushed van) |
 |
| ...into our next-door neighbor's backyard! |
We did NOT lose power at this time; that occured when someone else's tree lay across the wires a little while later.
Luckily, we were without electricity for only a day.
The Hubby and I put on our winter coats, and drank plenty of hot beverages.
Da Boyz curled up together, but poor Sweetie was without her Sweetie Spa heated beddy!
 |
| She tried to stay warm under the blanket, but it was unsatisfactory. |
That night, she crawled on top of me, to use my body heat.
When I awoke, she was on my head!
 |
| Sweetie: "I'm in my Sweetie Spa, and no one is allowed to make it go cold again!" |
Our prayers go out to those in Kentucky and elsewhere, who were severely affected by same storm system, to much more devastating results.
A day without power means nothing, when we still have a roof over our heads.
When those big trees come down they cause lots of damage. I'm glad you're safe and the electricity is back on.
ReplyDeleteYour babies know how to stay warm and I've had kitties that like to sleep in my head too. Bless their hearts.
Prayers for all those that are dealing with the tornadoes. So horrific.
Have a fabulous day. Scritches to the kitties. ♥
Wow, look at that damage! Sweetie, you are truly a domestic princess - MOL!
ReplyDeleteSO true about losing it for only one day. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the tornadoes. Sweetie is a cutie. XO
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it was only for a day. Poor Sweetie, she came inside to keep cozy so it's confusing to her.
ReplyDeleteThat is one big mess with that neighbor's tree!
ReplyDeleteWe have high winds right now again.
We are praying for all those affected by those horrible tornadoes.
We have very bad winds here, but we - and the trees - are used to them, so fewer trees fall here. I had to chuckle at Sweetie using her head - or, rather, yours - to stay warm. (I'm so very glad she's an insider-cat now. Can you imagine her outside, trying to stay warm? It doesn't bear thinking about.)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to add how grateful I am for your kind remarks about my friend, Tucker. It was very thoughtful of you.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think nature is very mad at us. I am glad you didn't have any major damage and no one was hurt.
ReplyDeleteYikes! We had a similar storm last weekend but we were lucky as no damage came with the storm.
ReplyDeleteThere was lots of lightning and thunder, but all it did was melt all the snow.
Glad you did not have much damage!
Purrs, Julie
we've had 2 storms this week bringing snow up the hill from us. Gidget sleeps on me in the middle of the nite to get warm cause the heater is turned down at night
ReplyDeleteSweetie darling...you know exactly what to do!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my mouses, that sounds HORRIBLE! Bein' without power is not nice, at all, and neither are high winds and bring down trees and smush cars. I'm super happy to know you all are safe and okay. PURRS
ReplyDeleteWow! We didn't lose power thank cod. Hope today's winds don't cause any problems for you...and Sweetie. :)
ReplyDeleteTruth in those words! We escaped damage here too.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you stayed safe, and that Sweetie got her heated bed back.
ReplyDeleteOur huMom was leery of getting anything that had to be plugged in for us (she doesn't even have an electric blankt) but she ordered a bed with a layer of that foil they use for emergency blankets, so our own bodatey heat gts it warm..and whoever gets to it first gets it for the day! So it would keep Sweetie warm no matter what.
ReplyDeleteSorry you lost power. We had those crazy winds too. We lost a couple of roof shingles off the garage but otherwise were ok.
ReplyDeleteWe had some dreadful winds here, too. The destruction in some parts of the state is amazing, including the absolute flattening of pines near Taos. We're glad you fared well enough. Poor Sweetie with no heated bed though!
ReplyDeleteScary storms! I'm glad you stayed safe. Your attitude is spot on. ~hugs~ The massive storm system crawling eastward today looks alarming. ~sigh~ I pray there is no more high wind/tornado damage. Take care!
