Here you can see two of the birch trees that Connie would not let me cut down over the summer drooping over our driveway. I had to knock the ice off of them with a hockey stick to get them to bounce up a bit so we could leave in our car.
This was a gift from my parents in our old house, until the ice storm demolished it by dropping a bunch of tree branches on it. Poor little flower girl sitting on a bench... she is with us no longer.
NO ONE BREAKS THE AMERICAN FLAG IN MY TOWN!!! Unless, of course, you are the Ice Storm of 2008, in which case, you have no patriotism.
You would think I piled up these branches because they are all in one place. But they are all in one place under one big pine tree.
We were lucky that this was the only potential damage to the kids swing set... as this tree REALLY wanted to destroy it, but could only bend over to touch it...
Here, you can see where the only big damage came from. The arrow pointing across shows that the light on the sport court is a bit bent over. The arrow point down, you can see the fence is bent a bit...
Carnage!!!
Don't worry, the mini-basketball hoop was not damaged during the storm. Probably blew over in the wind.
This is a wicked big branch that fell in the back on the sport-court fence. I can't move it by hand, as it is way to heavy. Will need to cut it into pieces first.
I have a lot of cleanup to do, but no major damage, no one was hurt. Plus, it is a good excuse to use my chainsaw. How about a little trim on that mustache, Ron?
Thanks Brothers!!!!!
