Stormy Weather

A storm system moved through yesterday bringing high winds and not much rain. The clouds as the system moved out were really pretty.
The high winds caused a power outage while I was eating supper with L--we had to put the food away by candlelight. The power stayed out for about 3 hours (I didn't stay there the whole time).
The high winds also blew down part of a Bradford Pear tree in our front yard. Fortunately, it fell away from the house, so no damage was done.
The birds seemed surprised at the sudden appearance of a playground near their eating area (think McDonald's play area), but soon came to enjoy being able to grab a bite, then go play, then return for another bite. I think they'll miss their playground when M gets it all cut up and cleared away.
