3626383597_7ba3aed5daAt 7 this evening after being without water for about 30 hours the water started to 3626387299_5c18199084slowly trickle out of the water faucet.  It has taken 45 minutes to fill up the toilet tank! Maybe the water pressure will be back to normal tomorrow?  I really need to get laundry done and do not look forward to a laundromat.

This morning Mike cut the maple tree  (upper left) up for firewood (firewood upper right) and we hooked the trailer onto the back of the truck to load up all the branches.  It started to rain so we headed back to the house.  Then it stopped raining so the trailer got unloaded – then we took it back to try to finish the job – started to rain again – we will finish it tomorrow.

Seeing as it kept raining off and on all day we decided to take a drive around the neighborhood and take photo’s of the storm damage.

a church 3 miles from us that my neice and nephew use to go to bilble camp at in the summer time.  There are six very large trees down by the roots and two partial trees down that we saw, there might have been more that we missed.

the neighbors directly across the street from us (that is the end of our driveway) they lost a very large tree in the middle of their front yard - our maple tree that fell down looked down right puny compared to that - we were lucky.

Now maybe I can get back to quilting tomorrow?  Hope so  :)
