The day after I got home, workmen arrived to cut up the tree that had fallen in the front yard.
 |
| I rescued the flowers that had not already been smashed, as I knew that the "lumberjacks" would trample them. |
 |
| At the same time mulch and topsoil was delivered for the spring garden projects. |
 |
| It only took a few hours and the tree (some of it splintered and thrown around the property) was cut up and cleared away. The fence is bent, the eaves-trough warped, next doors window is broken, Rick's car door is dented and the garden shed has a hole in it. I have no idea which of those things will be "sorted" but for now my garden can get to its spring purpose - growing and flowering. |
 |
| Parts of the tree flew through the air and landed 3 houses down, on the lake side. Amazing! |
 |
| The posts that hold the birdfeeders were bent, but Rick was able to bend them back, and a couple of the feeders were damaged beyond repair however bird feeding is back in full swing. |
