I have been living through this very rough period by reading,watching movies,teaching bead work and chain sawing the limbs of our beloved pine trees off of the neighbors fences. It amazes me how these pines were flexible enough to withstand the bad wind storms of the past two winters but when the Ice came it was all over. The weight did what the movement couldn’t do and the limbs came crashing down. WOW! The yard looks like the aftermath of a W.W.II artillery bombardment. Gut wrenching to say the least. Fortunately most of it happened while we slept. We only heard a little of what must have been the horrendous sounds of limbs snapping off and slamming into the ground. I lived through Hurricane Hugo and listened for hours to the sound of pines of South Carolina snapping off as 125 mile winds broke them to pieces. After about 35 minutes something shuts down inside yourself and you become inured to it. Maybe the horrible part of this storm is the silence in which it occurs before the rending and snapping. I feel blessed that we didn’t have to survive this one out in the open.
ANYWAY all of this has distracted me from blogging and getting on with putting out the Astrology for those who are interested.
