The Companions

A heavy wind and rain storm blew across the lake yesterday afternoon. We lost one of our oldest trees in the storm. The tree is one of the two trees that I refer to as the companions. The wind split the tree at about forty feet, the top part fell into the limbs of the other tree. The branches of the two trees are  entwined. The companion tree appears to be supporting the other. The storm raged on and off during the night. This morning the two trees still stand together one supporting the other. Mr. T. went out this morning to clean up the damage from the storm. Several small trees and large branches were strewn about. Some of the trees were a good size and will make fire wood for next winter. The lake is running fast today and more rain is the forecast.  It is a good day for knitting in the solarium. A bientot.
