What a sad thing to happen...all those beautiful tree limbs down. I know exactly how you feel as we had that happen to us here in south Central Kansas Jan 2006. Our huge old elm tree's had limbs nearly as large as the trunk broken off. My hubby worked afternoons at the time and the ice started around 4 in the afternoon just after he had left for work. By 8pm it sounded like a war zone with banging and crashing going on all throughout our neighborhood. We had two holes in the roof from limbs poking through. Thank goodness that's all the damage the house received. The yard was a mess and it took weeks for us to clean it all up. This post was a tough one to see but looking at more recent posts earlier show that your trees recovered nicely. Tomorrow I start again! <br />Maura :)Maura @ Kisiwa Creek Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992187526413563417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-25559469064007873752009-01-02T03:41:00.000-05:002009-01-02T03:41:00.000-05:00i have never seen anythingn like this - i know it ...i have never seen anythingn like this - i know it was awful, but it is beautiful!!! very scary story!!!cotedetexashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421509668956556785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-1620536220908125932008-12-24T16:58:00.000-05:002008-12-24T16:58:00.000-05:00Thanks for your lovely comment!

I'm so sorry you all have been hit so hard with these storms. <BR/><BR/>I'm happy your beloved maple trees were spared, and the damage to your home wasn't severe. Yes! Your contractor sounds like a one-of-a-kind gem! <BR/><BR/>Only four months to go?

Our snow melted in less than a day and all of our plants survived! Baton Rouge sure didn't know what to do with the snow, the whole city shut down! Nice treat though. Your contractor sounds great! Ya'll are very lucky! I love you, JennyJenny Firminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934541713760317362noreply@blogger.com
