Susan and I started out early Saturday (maybe late morning) for the Old Bookstore in Unionville, NJ. It was snowing lightly and, of course, we got a little lost, so it took us longer to get there than it should have. The owner is a nice guy and once you’re there for a few minutes, he starts chatting with you and gets kind of friendly. But more about the bookstore in another post…I promise.
Anyway, poor Harley was in the car while we browsed and by the time we came out, it was snowing harder. Leave it to us to get lost coming home as well.
As we sat in the living room watching the snow fall an
d accumulate, all of the sudden I watched as a 15 – 20 foot pine tree fell across our yard, on top of our little Colorado spruce. Poor little guy. Susan and I sawed off a few branches later to make sure he was unscathed.
Throughout the afternoon and evening, as we sat we heard CRACK!!!!! and watched and listened as branches fell. The next morning we saw what we had lost…not too bad, considering the weight of the snow bowed many of our tree branches and shrubs.
But we did learn one thing, folks. If a Tree Falls in the Forest, it does make a sound, regardless of who’s there to hear it.
Hope you all weren’t affected by this past weekend’s snow storm.

P.S. Off to bake a blueberry bundt cake. We’ll see how that comes out.
