wind damage

wind damage, originally uploaded by muttsywonder.

I'm so sad to say that a huge tree fell this week in our front yard-- which was always such an inspiration to me!! (It was the reason I did the Connections designs-- its tree top met with another tree high in the sky).

Here in Dallas we experienced a huge line of thunderstorms with high winds, and sadly, my huge lovely tree snapped like a twig. I've been dealing with the clean up, insurance (it fell on our house) and other things this week... so just thought I had to post a bit about it. Sort of my ode to this big lovely tree & a sad little farewell!

I also wanted to say thanks to http://cutoutandcollect.etsy.com for making a treasury in honor of my tree! Definitely check it out before it disappears : http://bit.ly/11nMGt
