Its been a real bad one here in Kentucky...over the past week we got several inches of snow...then a horrible ice event arrived.....couple more inches of snow ending the storm...there are still over 300,000 without power..17 people have lost their lives...I had several family members in the Louisville area without it for 24 or so hours...and close friends in "The Knobs" in Indiana had a tree come through the 3rd story of their home and also no electricity for a few days.....so again I am feeling so Blessed ... I planted a Weeping Willow in memory of my Mom and Dad in our yard years ago...
*We had one in our side yard when we were growing up...we spent a lot of time there...when I was very young I had a play house next to the tree....and we would sit at the picnic table with neighbors and friends and just shoot the breeze!...
That's ME!...and my playhouse...****hhmmm maybe we pulled out a lawn chair to two too!!...that's our weeping willow right there with the chairs leaning on it.....
I planted this weeping willow in our side yard several years ago....as you can see we had a pretty bad ice storm in 2003..and I thought this picture was depicting a true weeping willow! :) It recovered and grew into this massive one pictured below....
You can see the damage the Ice Storm of 2009 has caused this once beauty...:( I will do my best to save it.... I hope you and yours are safe and warm...or cool if you are in a warmer climate!....I will leave you with a few more pictures I snapped from our yard....

The "GateKeeper" I love the icicles hanging from his cheek, nose, and chin... *His expression kills me!!!... Blessings~Melanie:)
