As we’ve mentioned more than once, the dead trees keep breaking off and falling.

Notice the new one this side of the shed.
Here are a couple more examples.
Andy took a walk down to Beate and Tim’s Saturday and had to climb over/under a number of trees in our old driveway, and he saw this pile on the road to their place. Hopefully some of their neighbors will start clearing them off before they get there!
That really is the road!

Dramatic changes in messy nature. Quiet, quiet, quiet …and then crack, slow creak, thud. Quiet, quiet, quiet.
It’s not always so quiet. The wind can be noisy, and so can falling trees. We were having a picnic up on the land a couple of years ago and were getting ready to leave when we heard the wind and the crashing of trees. We skedaddled and had to mess with only a couple of trees on our way out. As I recall Andy had to use the chain saw on only one of them.
Can you believe winter is gone
Coffee is on
The spring weather can be interesting here, too!
Goodness, there’s a big difference between the 2011 and 2019 photos. How come so many trees have died? (Sorry, you may have explained this before!)
We had a forest fire that burned all the trees except one on our 80 acres.
WOW, that is a huge difference. Was this all from this past winter or have they gradually come down over the years?
They’ve been coming down since the fire, but a lot came down in this last windstorm.
Will you guys organize or take part in a group effort to down the dead trees along the road before they get blown down? What a sad thing to see.
No, there are only a few people and 8 or 9 miles of road.
Too bad the trees all had to die and fall. But luckily they are landing on the ground and not on peeps or buildings.
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
One of our neighbors had a little lean-to shelter that got clobbered, but mostly people have been lucky.
one day there will be big leafy new trees…the dead trees though to show how fast they are falling…
The aspens are growing, but no evergreens except the ones people plant. And they don’t always survive without fences and other protection. No real forest in our lifetime.
