The yard is -> a MESS!! Heard on the radio today that tree surgeons are at a premium, nd -> that they'll probably get at least a year's worth of work out of this. Only a few flurries. We had a wind storm back about a month ago though that knocked down a lot of pines here. The top of the ground was thawed and it as still frozen down about 6-8 inches or so. Most of them just uprooted themselves and fell over. Of course these were record winds for us. The clocked the highest gusts at over 70 mph. Closest to a hurricane I have ever been I guess. -> However, have to be thankful that what came down didn't hit the house, -> trucks, barn, etc. One tree top missed our house by inches. Florida is -> looking better and better! Or Phoenix, or right now, I'd even settle for -> SoCal (g)! Well look back at the pictures of what FL looks like after a hurricane. Look back at what So. Cal looks like after a earthquake or fire or mud slide. The turn your heat up to 120 and see if you like that for the Phoenix feeling. ANd then wait a few weeks and see what it looks like right where you are! -> -> And, as is always the case in the spring, the stuff is melting fast. So -> we'll only have alot of mud to contend with in a day or two. Yeah but it will dry up all by itself. ;-) --- PCBoard (R) v15.3/M 2 * Origin: Home of Malla, the spoiled Norwegian Fjord (1:2613/128) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E4500002 Date: 04/04/97 From: BOB KOHL Time: 12:35am \/To: DEBBY TAYLOR (Read 0 times) Subj: Re: soon happenings! > to get a cavity filled.
