Yesterday we had very bad storms. Winds in excess of 80 mph with hail and rain. We had one big limb come down off a Sunburst Locust and hit the roof of the sun room but seems to not have caused damage to it. This evening we are expecting more of the same---but for now this is the view out of my office window.
I assume you are working from home. That pic. just gives me another reason to hate you.
The yard looks beautiful.
I am working at home. My view from the office looks out over the Hudson River to the west and the East River to the East. While it is very impressive it is not as bucolic as the view from my home office--where I have been now working since mid March.Quote:

It is common to see deer and/or turkey in the field below the barn. There are two hens on nests in the woods to the left and we have a herd of about 12 deer that move back and forth between the woods on both sides and can be seen most any morning and again in the afternoon. The herd is dispersed now because of the fawns but will come back together in August. The field below the barn has become their daily meal stop---year round. They are very relaxed when they are here and we are happy to have them. I leave that field a little long in the fall to assure plenty of food over the winter. That has, for the most, part ended damage to shrubs and flowers.
I like my neighbors---they can stop in anytime.
...and thanks to you IV:hatoff:
That is a beautiful view.

We had snow at our resorts yesterday. Man, Winter needs to move on.

It is miserable here. Freeze watch tonight and snow is forecast at the cabin. I volunteered to bring the snow shovel to golf in the morning.:evilgrin:
Correction: just went outside and it's SNOWING.:omfg: I have seen frost on June 2 before, but not snow this late.:shrug:
Just keep it there :hyper:
On the bright side you're paying a lot less to air-condition your house this June than I am...96° with Realfeel at 106° here today...:relax:...BenQuote:
