Winter Snows 2009-2010 page 7
The last snow was heavy in weight because of rain and sleet and the high wind. An evergreen tree in front of our house fell.
The tree was old and rotting. The trunk broke at ground level and the tree harmlessly fell between bushes and the house.
I had put Christmas lights on the tree for many years. The last couple of years I had left them on the tree all year. You can see small blue light bulbs on the branches at the top of the tree.
The snow brought special thoughts and actions from several neighbors. A couple of neighbors brought us warm food. A couple of neighbors cleaned off our driveway and walkway and car, three times. And a neighbor cleared away the snow that the road scrapers had pushed up in front of our driveway entrances. Yesterday, Margaret's hairdresser gave her a large jar of warm vegetable soup that she had made. These neighbors made it easier for us to get through all the winter snow storms.
