Three tall pine trees were blown over by Hurricane Sandy Monday afternoon1. The next day we surveyed the damage:
The kids were shocked when they looked out the window at the top of the back staircase and saw a tree resting against it!
We began cutting down that tree because it was also resting on the garage.
And Ella did what she could.

I think I'll take hot and miserable after a hurricane over cold and miserable any day
ReplyDeleteWow--what a tragedy, such gorgeous trees.
ReplyDeleteI love that bottom photo - give that girl a ratchet lopper! ;-)
ReplyDeleteRAnn, it was strangely humid a day afterwards, turning even to a damp chill.
ReplyDeleteMzEllen, she was the most earnest of the kids at helping us.
