Contemplating Nature

Let's sum up the year thus far:

In February/March, we had a minor earthquake that actually shook my bed and woke me up. I'm in NEOhio for heaven's sake.

In July, we had such heavy rains that a river ran through my basement.

In September, we had the small but incredibly inconvenient house fire.

Earth.
Water.
Fire.

The only thing left is wind. And we have these two terribly large, ill maple trees in the front yard.

Yikes!
