A picture from the Past.
For Today:
I am NOT complaining. Compared
to the damage many have felt; ours is trivial.
We lost no trees. But those
trees dropped one million limbs plus or minus a thousand or so. LOL I am talking about little limbs that the
winds bring down sorta pruning them. Away from the house you could not step
without stepping on small twigs and limbs. So most of the debris was little 1
and 2 foot pieces. There were a few 3-6” thick limbs, I have one area about 100’
x 100’ cleaned up and burned. Tomorrow I will head into the woods to start
clearing.
It is good exercise. I tell
Sherry I am going out to play. For me it
is. We were affected by one tree that
fell across one of our drives. It was the neighbor’s tree. It hit the power lines but did not take the
lines down.
The tree was leaning completely
across the road. I called the power
company 6 months ago about that tree and met their tree man to talk. He looked at it and said, “This tree will
stand years yet, it has vines supporting it also.”
Well it did fall, I am sure
the tree man was not expecting sustained 50+ mph winds.
OH, I had a nice surprise
upon my return. My grandson Ben had come
over and did work on the deck I have been playing with, he did some fantastic
work; much better than I have been doing.
We do not know how long we will stay in NC before
heading to Florida, but it won’t be more than 2 weeks methinks. Like everyone
else, gotta the County/city property taxes here. They are outrageous. We pay $777 a month here
in Gaston County.
We are not moving out of the coach, gonna live
behind the house.
