Saintly Casualty


The much announced storm blew through today. The keeper got caught in the aftermath of the transformer fires at LFP Town Centre this morning. The sirens went off, they had to evacuate, even the gym. All the power went down as two transformers caught fire across the road. Traffic could not move on 523 so was diverted through all the neighborhoods. Not a pretty sight. No one appreciated the diversion. 
When she finally made it home, I insisted she check up on the backyard.  She noticed all the downed branches, and started piling them up, but finally she noticed St. Francis face planted on the ground. 



He is missing a thumb, some fingers, and the bird is in worse shape--a wing, and a tail.
we found some of the pieces among the pine needles. we will find the rest when things calm down.
