Jaye it is funny you should mention lightining rods. We have them on our house. Because we live in the woods. When we first moved here 20 some years ago, the only way to get TV was with one of those big satellite dishes. Well we soon found out that that was also the best way to draw in the lightining! We used to blow up at least 2 receivers every summer. Our insurance company hated us. The Directv dish is so much smaller and since it is plastic seems to be less likely to get hit.

Cody that is a scary thing to go through. I know from experience. Your cordless phones may be OK. Keep them unplugged for a few days and then try them again. Apparently they hold the electrical charge long after it is gone. Once that discharges they sometimes work again.

This is a lonely evening primrose that was blooming the other morning. Never had one this late in the year here.
