Blowing in the wind!

This morning it was sooo windy that I actually tweeted on twitter about it at 5 something this morning!
Again I was sure that the wind was going to blow off some big ol' limbs off the pine tree in the back yard, right onto the house.

Well it did not happen here, but it happened around town, (fallen limbs)

I was hoping this would show the trees blowing, it did not, but you can see our weather was less than Hunky Dory

This one I believe you can see the willows and the background trees blowing to the right. BRRRRR!!!

In the bottom left you can see the busted branch off this young Pine tree.

My biggest fear realized!!!

I have let my fear of my big pine tree crashing on my house very apparent in this blog. I wrote about it here in the post entitled Blow,Blow, Blowing Snow
In that particular post I was teasing with my son Troy who lives in southern ca, that it was not the tree itself I was fearful of but the tree limbs. I mean some of those limbs are huge!!!!
Well today as I was out and about looking for my picture I noticed that my worst of worst fears were realized.
Indeed a tree limb had decided to call my roof home. I am sooo shaken up by this. Mainly due to the fact that I did not hear it happen, (of course maybe that would have been worse!) But my GOD , I have been talking about this happening since I moved into this house, always and forever fearful of the tree blowing limbs onto my roof.
So if you dare to see the destruction, the fear I have been living with all these years come to light, just scroll down. I warn you, it is NOT a pretty sight!

Now is there anyone out there that DOES NOT understand the fear I have been living with?????????

Blow,Blow, Blowing Snow

Wind blowing all yesterday afternoon and evening and ALL night long has left me tired, very, very tired. The windows shook all night long and as written before that Pine tree in my backyard always worries me in this kind of wind.
It's funny to me, as I was mentioning about that stupid Pine tree in my backyard and how it scares me when it is so windy to my son Troy via the telephone this morning. he says, "Ah mom, Don't you know how deep those roots are, that tree is not going to fall over on the house"
Do I have STUPID tatoo'd on my forehead?
I said to him "DUH!!! I am not worried about the tree falling, I am worried about the branches snapping off and falling"
Oh well, sooo much for making myself clear!
For today the picture(s) are of my front door. When I opened it this morning around 10:00 A.M. I noticed how the wind had blown the snow up all the way to the top of my front door, I can only imagine what it may have looked like hours earlier, as you can see how the spots are already melting off.

I made this little welcome friends door thing years ago when I had a memorial service here at my home for my best friend. It's funny how it has never broke or fallen off. The "snow circles" are actually little bells.
