I don’t know enough about plants and flowers to know what these were that bloomed in the woods behind our home during the warm weather this week but they took a beating when high winds moved in Saturday.

The wind outide is howling at 29 miles per hour right now, according to our wind guage and gusts overnight hit 64 mph. With the temperature at 34, the wind chill is down into the teens.

Daylight will reveal how many limbs are down and what cleanup will be needed but it’s a certainty that some will be nececessary.
