Better Late Than Never

The storm that tore through our part of town last May, uprooting trees, caused other problems as well. Roofs of houses were damaged by wind and falling branches.

In Earl and Mary’s backyard, across the street, the house and greenhouse were spared. But the gazebo bore the brunt of the damage caused by falling branches.

Last week - three months after the storm - arborists removed damaged and hanging limbs from their large backyard tree. Not long afterwards, they went out to buy a new gazebo.

This is what our backyard was supposed to look like all summer, Mary said.

It looks lovely and peaceful now! Better late than never!
