Our anniversary fell on a Thursday this year, so we decided to celebrate on the weekend after, and it's a good thing, because mother nature caused a problem that would have changed our plans anyway.
About 2:00 am there was a lot of thunder and lightning and wind. Blake didn't hear a thing! When he woke up at about 5 to go out to the hot tub, he noticed something strange in the front yard. The wind had blown down some huge limbs from our tree in the front. Some of the limbs had fallen across the road. He got dressed and went out to clear what he could from the road.
This is better pictures of the damage from two or three large limbs breaking and falling when the wind blew.
When Blake and Brian got done working they started the clean up process. Courtney stood by the limbs to show how big they are. We sure did appreciate Jerry and Blaine Anderson coming to help saw up the limbs so they would fit into the horse trailer. Then a man stopped by and said he would like the larger logs, he would saw them up and haul them off. That was a huge help.
They filled the horse trailer twice. When the limbs fell, it left a pretty big hole in the grass. Luckily, the swing was fine! The man got a lot of firewood. After it was all cleaned up, we felt pretty lucky that more of the tree had not fallen and there was minimal damage to the yard.
