Snow...continued!

It's beginning to look a lot like...Christmas? Here it is a day before Halloween, and our yard looks like a winter wonderland! Well...the snow is melting now, but you get the point! The snow brought down a lot of branches, and fifty percent of our town is without power. Thankfully, we still have power. We have our work cut out for us, though; there's a big mess of branches in our yard, plus a small tree which may have gotten killed. Last evening we had a bit of a scary experience, hearing tree limbs creak...and my brother and dad had to go out to remove a huge branch that fell across our driveway. It fell on our mailbox but didn't actually destroy the mailbox...not sure what damage it did exactly. We're extremely thankful we still have power, however, and that no limbs or trees fell on our house or barn. Still a few limbs that are hanging haphazardly from trees (haphazardly, a great word!) When my mom measured the snow earlier this morning, there were six inches. I think there's less even now, though. Anyway that's how it's going with us! :)
