Last night we had 70 mph winds, sheets of rain, hail and LOTS of it. The neighbor’s birch tree, which is about twenty feet tall, was bent over so the top branches were touching the ground. And yet…. the blankety-blank willow is still standing!

Amazing that a big tree like that can bend and not snap in half in a gale like that.
