DH's man Cave...shed roof UP in the front where the door is.
He came in the cabin all excited to get the camera & show me how the snow was peeling off the back of his forte`
ha ha I said," sweetie, that is why folks up here want a metal roof, that and woodstoves can shoot embers"
he's learning...slowly.

>snipped for bandwidth saving<

I didn't get out while the back porch (fiberglass) roof had its snow-curl going, but there's still a HUGE glacier where it landed!

I can't get from my yard into the orchard at all:
Top of the driveway, with the precious little old "milk house" actually an ice house. The only oak branch which came down in my part of the grove, it had visible damage from a direct hit in a lightening storm about twelve summers ago.


Grimes Golden tree limb across my small gate- badly abused tree, planted before my Dad was born in 1917, and long ago the tree that shaded the pig pen. Old woodpecker nest, then starling nest, and apparently this winter, a nut store for the stupid Eastern Grey Squirrels. They've been busily salvaging their goodies and moving them elsewhere- I hope they loose a lot and go hungry being a bad, bad person who hates the fuzzy rats.


Of course, there's worse damage; this is the Yellow Transparent which is the pollinator for about half of the orchard, split in half to the roots. Weirdly enough it's the youngest tree in the orchard, planted forty years ago after the Columbus Day storm. The variety has notoriously weak and brittle wood, but this one was attacked by bark-shredding (editorial comments withheld) Eastern Grey Squirrels and had crown rot as a result.



And some time today there was a bit of wind and my beloved Merrill Magnolia lost two tops. I'm not up to photographing that, sorry.
