Mother Natures Fury~

We had the mother of all storms sweep through Duanesburg while I was at work on a few weeks back. It managed to drop 2 1/2 inches od rain in a half hour and declutter some serious trees!  Upon arriving home Raine and I immediately noticed one of our neighbors tree had been assasinated and lay bent and broken on the ground.  It was a big and beautiful old tree that was home to a rustic wooden swing that our neighbors grown children used to swing on when they were just little ones.
I'll admit I got a little teary when we saw it all bent and broken.  It's so sad when something that holds so much history and memory falls back into the earth so suddenly. I find this to be true for all living things.
