The Storm has Passed ~

Welcome dear needlefolk friends!
It's been like a whirlwind here in the Studio 
this week...time literally flew by!!

Plus, a tornado like storm with high 
winds really took a toll on our wooded land!


 Our power was out for many, many hours...
we're so thankful things are finally back to normal!

 Thank goodness for old fashioned kerosene lamps! 



My husband has been busy surveying all
the damaged trees...


This big old Walnut tree was probably 
100 years old...completely uprooted!


Countless other trees were split and shredded!


Lots of tall Pine trees...gone!


Some split in mid air and dangling! 



So sad, so devastating, lots of mess, 
and lots of clean up!


Luckily it missed the farmhouse and buildings!

 Our next door neighbors lost a silo, while
many near by houses had severe roof
damage!

    I can relate to the pain of losing old trees. I watched in horror from my porch, following a week of rain, as a 200 year old Maple in our drive slowing keeled over and crashed across our bridge, just missing an out-building and our fences. What a mess! Good luck with cleanup!

    I hope you recover soon from the storm.
    Sorry you lost so many trees, especially the 100 year old.
    At least it didn't damage your home and no one was hurt.
    We had torrential rains here yesterday, but no damage like that.

    It's heartbreaking to lose any tree, but the 100 year old walnut - terrible!

    Make something wonderful from the walnut--turned bowls, needle chests, etc

    So glad you were all safe. It's sad to see those tall old beauties lost, but I think Mother Nature will have some lovely surprises for you in store in the Spring. All those new, open spaces will be filling in with different flora, and a new mix of animal neighbors will be wandering in...
