The heavy rain storms in Spring/Summer of 2019 destroyed 80% of the Crab Apple Tree in the foreground. Now, what remains stands against the elements. We saw snow for most of today. Tempts tonight are supposed to drop to close to zero with 25 MPH winds; making the wind chill feel somewhere between -15 and -20 degrees. Schools will be closed tomorrow.

A twig of her former self, she's going through some hard times now. Hopefully Spring 2020 will be kind and help her to heal enough to someday return to her former glory.
