Damage With a Capital D
We spent some time at the cabin over President's Weekend. You can see that we were met with stormy weather, but not as stormy as it had been about a month earlier when Mother Nature brought her tree loppers and changed the whole forest.
We took a hike to survey the damage on the trail around the lake. It was crazy how many trees had just been completely topped. There were several Yews down....
I was especially sad for the madronas that lay broken, their beautiful branches asking, "Now what?" Seems they should have a nobler fate than lying submerged in water.
There has been a lot of clean up, and more remains. Madrone, anyone?

Well, I s'pose nature knows how to renew herself. Those little saplings will get more light now and you and your sweet family will get to watch 'em grow.
What a treat!
