I was transfixed, much to the bemusement of the man who lived there, getting into his car, fine white hair, lifting in the breeze, staring as he drove away.
I’ve read about that. I hope your community is not flooded. The pictures are alarming. I remember being in Bath when the Severn had flooded, and all the pitches for miles around were underwater as well. Children must be going mad without safe places to run.
It is nice to see some sun after many grey days. 🙂
*hugs back*
The extent of my walking was to the back yard to try and move some of the willow limbs. Some ended up in the creek. And I think are going to need more than just me to drag them out. Maybe tomorrow.
As hubby is due home in about an hour from being gone for a bit so no work! Just play!
Ours were not weeping willows, but they lasted into my 40’s and were probably my age. Then my parents moved, and I didn’t keep up with them. They were really wide, huge trees with garter snakes at their bases and squirrels in their branches.
We didn’t go to the Cape that you probably refer to. In 2006, we returned to Portsmouth, NH and revisited the place where we once lived in Kittery, Maine. On the way back home, we spent some time at Gloucester where our kids went on the boat to watch the whales. We loved New England.

We had three enormous swamp willows in our backyard growing up. Every year we cleared out branches.

I’ve read various accounts as to the life of willows.
From ten to forty years. Mine is about 24 years old.

Ah, so that is why I have garden snakes. I have some of those snakes living under my wood pile. Squirrels are in all of the trees. 🙂
I don’t mind the snakes. If they just would keep some of the little rodents away.

Garter snakes are harmless. They must have good root systems for snake nests.
