Thanks for that trip down memory lane. I was afraid
that my mimosa tree which lost about 50% of its leaves
in that storm and took another hit in the winter ice
storm wouldn't be able to bounce back. I am happy to
report that it is fuller and lusher then ever before
and seems to say "Thanks for the pruning."
So many stories about that storm! It was my
experience that it really pulled people together to
help each other out.
