Boo.

Our pre-Halloween snow this past weekend started out kind of fun.  I thought about posting some snow covered ghost and/or pumpkin pictures.

See how cool and spooky the streaky snowfall looks?
(this was taken right at the beginning of the snow on Saturday)

But after 4 or 5 inches of wet heavy snowfall on top of the leaves, the snow definitely wasn't fun anymore.  It wrecked havoc on our trees.

This is the tree where we had a saucer swing for the kids....
Fortunately, both trunks missed all the houses and sheds in the vicinity.

And, here is what is left of our beautiful sweet gum tree.  Nine main branches snapped off like toothpicks.

I guess we're all set for firewood for a while now.....
