It was quite a downpour. The wind was measured to be up to 60 miles an hour. It sounded like it as the house was being hit from all sides with rain hitting the sides of the house. It was not predicted as we were told we would be spared most of it. It actually came right at us and didn't go south.
My project for the day was to drag this out of the street and cut it up. I knew I needed to put the branches in small piles for pick up. When I called to inquire they said that the scheduled time for pick up is tomorrow. She did add that I had to tie the bunches into bundles using twine. I had my mom's old jute string so that worked out well. It was old macrame twine that she had twenty five years ago. I don't throw anything away and this time it paid off.
Tomorrow I will have to upright some sunflowers and tie them up to a steel post. I didn't have the time to do it today. I didn't have any other damage as I have found so far. Other people lost branches from their decorative pear trees that line our streets.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Wow. That sure was a storm! Our storm last week caused a LOT of damage throughout our property but no buildings had issues.
Your flowers look great!
At least it was just one branch! Your flowers are very pretty.
