Storms...

I thought the rain was bad in Tazewell!

Cheryl and I are in Red House, Md. at the moment and the sotrms here last night were aweful. A power surge burnt up a device that my father-in-law uses to wake him up when the electricity goes off. The phones were also down for 14 or 15 hours.

North of us about an hour to 90 minutes, Pittsburgh almost washed away. Some places got almost 5 inches of rain.

Tomorrow we go home...

Tree Swallows - an Empty Nest

Well, the tree swallows were in their nest yesterday. Today is day 21 in their little lives, and this morning they're gone. At least, five of them flew. A sixth didn't see the outside world. It laid motionless in the nest this morning at 8am, dead. I cleaned the nest out of the house and left the front open for the sun to him for a few days...

Baby looking out...
