A few minutes ago in our front yard.....the Red Sunset Maple tree was planted and watered.

It is our Christmas gift for each other and one day may look like this!

It replaces a huge elm tree with we lost last year! I feel so good about having a thing of beauty to

enjoy!

Yesterday was in the 60's and we went for a walk in the neighborhood.



Here is an oak tree split in half from the weight of the ice on all those leaves and branches.
Below, I am standing at the end of our street, where the street sign and stop sign have been pushed down by the huge oak which was uprooted and fell there! Fortunately on no one's home!




This little tyke trying to reach the pedals of his vintage trike is my darling grandson!
