In case you missed it

Some of you have heard about the destructive snowstorm we had on April 15th. Trees that were in bloom or already leafing-out held on to so much snow that they were damaged. Lots of broken limbs, split trees and tipped trees. I didn’t have time to write anything about it then, but if you weren’t here to see what happened, here are a few pictures.

Looking northwest from our porch



The willow that shaded our driveway. It was too badly damaged to leave in place. We will have to remove it and plant a new tree.


Loading up what broke away. It is early evening and most of the snow has melted.



A few other trees in our neighborhood

It was pretty wild. I can't believe how many trees were just wrecked.

That was a pretty crazy storm. My Grandma emailed pictures of it as well. I'm so sorry about your tree. We send our love and hope all is well.
