A storm hit the city on Friday afternoon, knocking down trees and taking electrical wires with it, including our cable and Internet (but not our electricity---phew!). Heard a huge rush of wind blow through our old oak tree in the backyard, but thankfully, we were spared any of the damage. But as an afterthought, one of our sons cut down a two-year old oak sapling in our front yard because we got to thinking about it. It's grown with a fork in the top, and it was just a matter of time before it'd be a bigger issue. We're thinking maybe fruit trees would be nice. Small, compact and do-able. ;) Funny, but this part of our yard is the stump graveyard. We plant stuff and cut it down. I'm thinking this is the 4th tree we've had second thoughts about and have cut down early---our neighbors likely get a kick out of our odd habit, well, that is if they even notice.
Anyway, sort of in a like-minded blog entry, Kim had similar things on her mind in regards to computer time wasting. To be distanced from the Internet and all of its busyness and noise has been a blessing. 'Course a couple of the kids have been beside themselves, but change is good, especially in this case. We're so compulsively addictive. It's ridiculous.
So, on that note, will scamper off and do something useful. I admit to enjoying the life of web surfing, but enough is really enough. The Backstreet Boys are on my player and I'm off to enjoy them. Yeah, buddy. Will putter around the house and put things to bed....wiping off the counter, tidying up. That's all good.
