Better
Indiscriminate thanks to everyone who has sent messages of support lately, with more specific thank yous to follow!
This is another picspam post, some I took today, some from last Saturday I hadn't gotten around to putting on yet.
This first one is our backyard. The little building is an old feedbunk, half reconstructed into a cottage, half storage unit, yet another project in stasis. The signs around the wooden climbing gym are part of Mike's collection, bought as discards from a road construction company's going out of business auction. I was out taking pics because we were right on the extreme rear edge of a big old storm system which I hear produced a tornado 30 miles east of us.
Taken from my front yard as the sun went down. As you can see, the storm system just stopped--the rest of the sky westward was cloudless.
Another one from the backyard, looking northeast to where the towns and people under the purple clouds were getting whomped.
Earlier this afternoon, Mike and I went to town to run some errands. We had to stop and check out the coal plant construction. I don't THINK the tower is actually tipping--it's just a funny camera angle. But it IS taller than the really tall red crane!
Mike took this one, showing some blue-haired lookyloo checking out the action.
These are the pics I took last Saturday. There was a fire here a few months ago, and they have been dismantling it slowly ever since. I was intrigued by them leaving part of the back kitchen wall in place, as well as by the few oddments set aside on the porch, presumably as 'keepers'.
I wonder if that propped up wooden piece is the inside door to the storm cellar, and if that has anything to do with them not knocking that wall down?">
Bottom storm cellar entrance.
