Oh hey, little gazebo, how’s it going?, originally uploaded by Mad-Eye Melissa.
We had a lot of pretty strong wind last night into this morning… This was the scene that greeted me when I woke up this morning. That’s my car parked out front of the house**, and the neighbor’s gazebo, which is usually — you guessed it — BEHIND the fence.
I had a dilemma, upon seeing this, since I figured it would take one more solid gust of wind to send that piece of wayward patio furniture right through the windshield of my car. And then I figured that gust would inevitably come as soon I decided to MOVE the car, resulting in my being attacked by said patio furniture.
Thankfully, not long after I took this photo, the neighbors noticed that their gazebo was escaping and lifted it back into their yard. (Secretly, I think it really was trying to get back at them for setting off some kind of low-height fireworks underneath it the other night. Weird. Very weird.)
** Please disregard the very long grass… It’s since been cut, and the neighborhood child who was lost in the yard? He was found, too. Wandering aimlessly through the jungle of reeds as they swayed back and forth, back and forth…
