I think what I'm most devastated about....it may sound insignificant......is the pine tree on our property! It was so big and beautiful.....it was the only one there! We named our farm "Lone Pine Ranch" because of it, and now it's gone. My dad is going to make a table and bench from it so we always have it with us, and we will plant a new one in the same spot, but it won't be the same....

Yes that is sad, but I love the idea of making something from it.

No problem, the horses are fine, they were all safe in the barn. We let them into the paddocks for the first time in like 3-4 days today....they were VERY happy to stretch their legs!

Yes that is sad, but I love the idea of making something from it.

Me too, it's a beautiful tree!
