Or is it too late for that? :p
This is the school yard The Mafiosos romp and roam in. It now looks like a hurricane swept through.

These puny oak trees didn't seem to stand the chance against the strong winds. They lay toppled over like matchsticks.

Thankfully, our trees stayed put. Our large oak tree in the front yard is leaning towards a slant now.

Storm storm go away! Come back never again! Let's hope the rest of the week flies by without any trees toppling over.

ReplyDeleteIt still amazes me how these huge trees that are so wide came out from their roots and toppled onto cars and houses. Driving through town it looks like a mini tornado came by. Our area had the most fallen fences...it's crazy! Let's hope the worst is over.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm glad that you guys are all ok and hope no more storms have prevented you from posting in the last couple of days?
