A dramatic image, very evocative.

- thank you, Bob --- it has been mostly cleared out [the part on the driveway]; I look out the window and just want to go over with my Duct Tape and wrap this tree back together. Think it is an evergreen that has more than one trunk.... don't know for sure !

You need to get back down here where all you have to worry about are hurricanes knocking over trees...and power poles...and houses...aw...never mind, just keep warm.

.. funny ! You forgot the B-52s ---
.. we are warm -- as a matter of fact it was in the 60s, but Wed. will have rain, wind and cooler temps for a bit. So much for working in the yard. Went to the store today with our son --- that is a huge plus for being here --- we stopped and had lunch together. He informed me, when I dropped him back at his place, "it was fun hanging with you today, Mom ."
.. need say no more
.. but, do thank you for your visits so much

Made me smile. I'm glad you are up there close to him.
