Spring

Spring took a strange turn this weekend.  What was supposed to be rain turned into one of those blizzards everyone says only happen every 5 to 10 years. Of course my husband is working, power is out for most of the day and huge pine trees are snapping in half in our back yard. The neighbors  tree actually found a resting spot on the side of our house.  At least the view from my kitchen window was beautiful.
Here a few of the trees that fell from the weight of the snow. One hit our gutter and barely missed the house. It is so sad to see them fall.
Ok, so the tree that landed on our house...no major damage, just a dent in our wallets when the guy comes to take it down. Notice the orange tie down? That would be Greg's attempt to pull the tree down himself. Between me screaming at him while he climbed it that our insurance deductible is alot more than it will cost to have a guy come and do it and then  him realizing it was a very  heavy tree... disaster was avoided.
PS This post is from the end of April. When I loaded photos it changed the date on me.
