Storm and a Falling Hemlock Tree

It is snowing again! After me and Kate cleared the driveway the other day, mother nature decided to dump another 10-15 Cm's of snow on us.

Lake Echo is freezing over and guess what? last night we awoke to the sound of an almighty crash outside. We assumed like last year it was just a pile of snow falling off the roof and so we went back to sleep, however, in the morning we discovered the real reason for last nights crashing sound. A massive Eastern Hemlock tree which borders the front garden which has been there for god knows how many years decided that it had enough of the storm and keeled over, missing the house and the car!

Had it fallen a different way, then I might have been writing this blog post from the next life.

Now I believe we need to call some guys with chainsaws and bloody big truck to take the bugger away.

Merry Xmas.
