Early Monday morning, we learned what a high wind warning means. It means winds will blow bunches of pine needles to embed themselves into your siding.
It means branches will snap from your trees and be sent spiraling downwards to stab their sharp pointy ends into your garden beds.
It means you will count your blessings when you hear (and feel!) the sound of a tree falling thisclose to your home.
It means you can tease Grammy about the fact that she wished way too hard for the demise of a particular tree/shrub which graced our front lawn.
Psssst...I don't think she planned for a big tree to take it out!
