Nature

The tornadoes that touched down in our state yesterday left a path of destruction in its wake. Other than big boomers, incredible lightning, heavy rain and high winds, we are fine. But there are many people not so lucky this morning.

While reading in bed early yesterday morning, caught movement out of the corner of my eye, and heard a chipmunk squeak. A bird of prey (with such a distinctive call) had swooped down into the yard in front of me and picked up breakfast. It reminds me again that Nature is not all about beauty and peaceful glades. I wonder what plans that chipmunk had for the day.
