Mother Nature vs the fences

Mother Nature is a tough lady and I'm sure you can guess who won.








Last week a violent spring storm blew through.  We had about 6 big trees blown over taking the fences with them.



One Willow tree managed to land on a gate and break the post the gate was hung on.



Combined with the branches of other trees that were snapped off we have a lot to clean up, but on the bright side we won't be running out of firewood any time soon.

  7. We went through that w a few weeks ago People are still cleaning up from it. When it comes to nature, she cares less about fences or anything.

  8. What a bummer about the trees and the fences. But hey you found some different fence shots to share so that's another bonus besides the fire wood!
