SNOWTOBER TREE CARNAGE

historically early snowstorm hit yesterday, while the leaves are still on the trees...

we got about 5 inches of snow... after i took this photo, i shook the old dogwood and it was saved.

the bald cypress remains a potential casualty... this was yesterday afternoon, after i shook the snow from the tree...

luna managed to cut her foot two days ago, it got infected, and we had to take her to the emergency vet in the storm... i think we risked our lives for that cute purple dressing... but they took a piece of wood out of her foot...

this morning, before i released the bald cypress from its snowy bonds...

more broken tree mess, but pretty colors...

the bald cypress is recovering a bit by mid afternoon, after hubs went out and pushed it up with a tree-pole.

by late afternoon, the bald cypress is still rising up. will it recover? i called out tree guy, hoping he would hoist it up, but he's too busy cleaning up emergencies...

the cypress fell on magnolia 'ruby.' i hope she will recover. one storm has maimed my two favorite trees.

ruby was still flowering...

some halloween! however, we are lucky, as we only lost our phone lines and many are without power...
