Storm Damage Leaves A Big Mess

We are all okay, including the horses, goats and chickens, but the storm that came through this morning did a lot of tree damage.
What a mess.  Besides a lot of broken branches, we had four trees come down completely.








Yes, I think we had a tornado come through.

My garden took a hit.


The 6 foot high sugar snap peas where completely knocked down to the ground.  Hopefully, I can set them back upright.  I'll have to start canning those peas tomorrow.

Roses took a beating, some stripped of every petal, but a few hung on.
I can still count my blessings.  At least we have power.  Many neighbors without electricity.  Bill and I rode our bikes and check on several of the neighbors.  Everyone is the area is fine.  No one hurt. 

Well, time to get back to clean up.
