Poor trees
Over the last few days we’ve seen some pretty strong winds during the day. It usually starts around 10am in the morning, reaching it’s peak at 3pm and everything dies down when the sun sets.
My poor aspens around the house have been pounded. I can see fresh leaves all over the front yard and some fresh small branches that have been torn off. If this goes on for much longer, I think that some of them are not going to make it.
Oh and the five pound door mat at the front entrance flew through the air yesterday afternoon and landed some 20 feet away …
Heavy winds or hail, I wrap my small aspens in old pillowcases. They have support poles to bear the weight. Keeps them in good shape. Bigger trees, bird-netting for fruit trees works well.
I love the new banner and it has been windy here as well… not to mention the fires on the hill. I would use water to put it out but we are rationing that now…
