Getting back to normal



Last Sunday we had a huge wind storm.   It toppled an electrical transformer that was two houses away, resulting in a loss of power that lasted for almost a week.   This is a picture of one of the trees that we lost from the back yard.

You can see from this picture where that tree abruptly snapped off.   We were so lucky because the wind was blowing from the west and the tree fell sideways.   It could have destroyed our garage if it had fallen in a different direction.


But as you can tell from this picture of Chris, we are making some progress with the cleanup.   I hope all of you are safe and have made it though all bad weather we have been experiencing.
