The pigeon wasn't the only thing hit by the lightning.
Look at this!
The lightning hit the tree in our back yard.
You can see where it burned the branch!

And then the branch fell on our back porch.

Our girl chopped off the big broken branch.
You can see more burn marks on the tree.
Next time there is lightning, we are going to hide under the bed!
We don't want to get burned like the tree and the pigeon!
This is what our back porch looked like after the girl chopped down the broken branch.

And here's the branch piled up in our back yard.

I'm checking to see if the branches would be fun to climb.
Maybe I can see over the fence....
or even take myself on walks through the neighborhood.

What kind of branches are these?
They are not fun to climb on at all!
Look at the sharp thorns they have!
I even poked my nose sniffing them.
I guess I won't climb them afterall!
