No, your eyes are not fooling you

I've been slacking on uploading more images from the ice storm...SHOOT ME!! ;) Well, I'm only attaching a few today and hopefully can catch up with it this weekend. As I've said in previous posts, clean up has been underway and the evidence shows with chopped trees, limbs, sticks, you name it, making their new home on the side of roads. Trust me, that are a lot of them!! But, it's somewhat sad to see. The skyline in our neighborhood looks bare and ragged, with the trees that are still left standing.

And we did get our yard cleaned up last Friday and we had to have seven, count 'em, SEVEN, trees cut down!! For some reason, it broke my heart and I have to admit, I shed a few tears. But, we will get to plant new ones this spring.

Again, I personally want to thank all the hard workers for their continued efforts to restore power to those who are into their 3rd week without it. I'm continually updating the recognition of companies who have been working here, so if you know of any company I missed, just let me know. I'll gladly add them to the list!

Now, on to more images. Have a great week and come back soon!
