However, we had some pressing matters left over from the day-before-Thanksgiving snow. Yes, I know that was a couple of weeks ago. But Saturday was the first day with nice weather (50s) and a free afternoon.
What started as a beautiful snow
Caused a lot of distress to the trees that hadn't shed their leaves
And even some that were leaf-less fared poorly. Which is the case with my lovely pussy willow. At first glance that snowy morning I thought the branches were just bending very low. Unfortunately, about a third of the trunk split off, which had to be removed. So this was the aftermath of that snowy day
And now waiting for the city to come by and remove the remains
And can you believe it...many of the branches were budding! My poor confused tree thought it was February, not December. I only hope now that what is still rooted in my backyard will make it through the winter!
