This tree in the goat yard was uprooted and knocked to the ground last night by high winds that also took out our power from early evening till around 3 a.m. Every time I look outside today, I do a double take when I see this tree down. It hit the fence, but nobody’s escaped (yet). There are probably too many large branches in the way. The fence will have to be repaired this weekend. We’re having a wild spring so far!

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

We are moving 2 horses into the new area and making their pasture into a hay field.

HOpefully, the animals won’t find the downed fence before you have a chance to fix it.

It is scary, especially when a tornado hit and devastated part of PA last night – is it so rare in our neck of the woods.

Happy the tree didn’t hurt anyone and can be seasoned for firewood for next winter:)

Maybe you can keep a section of trunk for the goats to climb on, like they do the spools.

Very glad noone was hurt and you have a start on the firewood for next winter. Fences are always repairable or replaceable.
We have had so much rain in the last week I am praying for a few dry days so I can get in the peas, onions and salads I thought I was going to plant 2 days ago.

We, too, had that lovely storm system come through my section of north GA. My weather radio alert system was going nuts for about 8 hrs. Sometimes, we’d have alerts interrupting an alert.
Had a storm system that was showing internal cloud rotation near where my ex, his wife and my daughter live!
