A Blast of Winter Wind—-Tuesday, April 17, 2018

The wind is whipping everything and all things today.  It started yesterday afternoon and continued with intensity

The clouds and the lovely blue sky is trapped above massive amounts of dirt, blowing bits of weeds and leaves and tiny pebbles of soil.

The only noise outside is agitated and extraordinary and huge 40-50 m.p.h. wind lifting up even empty barrels of 50 galleon drums….what a shuddering mess this wind is.

What Happens to Old Trees

wind-and-trees

High winds for a couple of days, snow and the weight of leaves and flower blossoms sometimes cause the collapse of really, really old tree limbs.

Sigh! 

But the tree is still living so to shave off a heavy branch is just alright.
