Wind Storm

I know that the entire continent has been enduring some freaky weather patterns, especially this year.  It seems that southern Ontario is no exception.  We had a wicked wind storm yesterday that apparently flipped over several transport trucks on the highway, threw patio furniture right through the window of a restaurant,  downed trees and power lines like dominoes, and knocked out the power to most of southern Ontario for at least several hours.  Some people still don't have power this morning.  I know.  Very scary stuff.

Here are some pictures of the trees that came down in our yard.  I sat huddled with the dogs on the couch, wondering when the next fallen tree would come through a window.  It didn't.  Whew.

That is too scary. Thank goodness your house wasn't damaged- or anything worse. It felt like my front door was going to blow in yesterday.

Glad you're safe! Your jewelry board looks fabulous! I love the rolled flowers. Thanks for stopping by my place. :)

I just noticed that you are from Ontario as well. Lucky you, living in the Niagara fruit belt. I live just outside Toronto. All my life I've wanted to see the fruit trees and have never seen them. One of these years - I bet they are beautiful.
