Tree-mendous work


Sunday night, we had the remnants of Ike blowing through here with a lot of gusto! We lost two trees and two other trees each lost a large limb.



The clean up begins. Our Bradford pear south of the apartment blew down, except for a little section. Enough that we couldn't save it.


We planted this tree 8 years ago and it was our nicest tree.

The tree on the left lost two major branches and I don't think we can save it. It also blew the swing and many chairs over.

The is looking south from Kidron School--just across from where Laura & Ron lived.
This tree brought down the lines. Power is still out today from Lehman's up to Central.

Dad & I loaded a whole trailer full of branches and we still have at least one more load to go.
We are cutting wood to burn in our fire pit, so it takes a little longer than just throwing everything onto the trailer.

Got too dark to finish, so we will continue tomorrow.
