I think mother nature has it out for me....

So, Ivan went through yesterday & we luckily only got the edges.  Yet a really huge double trunk tree in our yard fell & broke our fence, the neighbors fence & manged to fall on one of their cars.  The good thing was that their no one got hurt & neither of the houses got hurt (I was really worried since their doggies were in the yard at the time).  It also worked to my neighbors' advantage since  they were about to give their car to GoodWill anyways & now they are getting book value for it.  Now we just have to wait until the home insurance people come out & that could take a longtime since I am sure we are at the bottom of their list.  So, the tree will just sit there since it is to huge to move without proper equipment.  I say that nature is out for me since not to long ago I had a branch fall on my car & wreck the whole front, then during Frances a thin pine tree broke in half & fell in our yard & now this.  Of course I do realize that I am lucky compared to many people whose houses have been wrecked.  I just think in general the weather needs to give us all a break especially here in Florida.
On another note I am still working on the painting that I started during Frances & I actually feel like I will keep going & not put it down like the other two.  I think we are actually going to get a digital camera very soon since financial aid money is coming, so hopefully I will actually have something to post.  Well, off to work I go.
