SATURDAY AT 4:30 P.M. MARKHAM

After the devasatation between Martingrove and Kipling at Hwy. 7 - 40 homes have to be destroyed. I have a tendency these days to LOOK UP! - Yesterday, people out in Markham - (between Hwy.7 and Hwy 9) looked and saw these:




Provincial police briefly shut down Highway 407 at about 4:30 p.m. because of debris on the highway caused by high winds. It makes me wonder whether or not these things could happen within the City of Toronto. We have always thought that Tornadoes manifest in moreso - open areas. But this is not so - considering Thursdays ravage - in a densely populated area!!

YESTERDAYS STORM

Yesterday evening's massive, violent storm wasn't quite like anything most of us have ever seen around these parts, with several funnel clouds and tornadoes touching down across the GTA. Vaughan seems to have gotten the worst of it, with an estimated 120 homes having been damaged, several areas in Southern Ontario, there was plenty of flooding on streets and in homes, and there was one reported fatality in the mayhem in the Town of Durham. Thankfully injury reports are generally neither numerous nor severe. The cleanup continues

I forget where this was taken but somewhere outside Toronto.

LUCY LIKES TO GO FOR A WALK!

Our oldest kitten Lucy likes to walk with the boyz. People are amazed that she does this. The other day we were out early - a man was strolling his twins and the mother was on the other side of the street with their dog. When they saw Lucy - they said - take hold of the dog dear. Lucy - unflinching - got her back up and slowly, slowly started to head towards the intruder dog - This is my territory - I think I heard her say - and these are my dogs. I had to tell her to back off and actually went over and picked her up. She is such a territorial bad %$%.

Great pics after last Sundays Storm

This went on for around 3 hours. But we were in the t.v. room watching 2 hours of my fav program Boston Legal with the air conditioner on and the curtains shut and then went to sleep and missed the whole thing!



The clean up crew was out in full force today. This tree came down in our area.


Old willow tree down at Marie Curtis just south of us.

PUMPKIN is GETTING BIGGER

I am really excited about this HUMUNGOUS pumpkin project this year. I only planted a few things to make room for Big Bessie - Actually - I have 2 (off of their own vine) and believe they will grow into each other. J.T. thinks maybe they will form a heart. J.T. also informed me that you can take a pen and write something and it will grow and show what you wrote (but not yet cause they are not large enough).
