And I am not just talking about how fast this summer is moving. Mother Nature decided to show off again this year with an unexpected thunderstorm at 4 am with winds up to 100 miles per hour. Let's not forget the light show with nonstop lighting lasting a good 20 minutes. Needless to say we had several trees damaged, a few shingles that decided to move to the front yard, sideways sunflowers and a visit from the neighboring feed stores' sign. Yikes!!
My poor sunflowers. The wind actually plucked off most of the petals.

Ouch!
This tree was the victim of the lightning. It was split right down the middle
Fortunately all the animals were unharmed. We were just left with a huge mess to clean up the following day.
