Well We are beginning to dig ourselves out of the ice storm of 2009. We're cutting up trees and making piles. The sun is out. We have our gas and electricity. We feel like humans living in the 21st century again. The picture to the right is how our House looked from the street. Those Dogwoods don't usually touch the ground. Fortunately, it looks as iff our trees will all be saved. Perry climbed them all and cut away the broken branches.
Louisville Kentucky is a lovely city, as you say there are many dogwood trees. When I built a new home in a far-flung suburb I surely planted 8 or 10 dogwoods myself.
I can't even see the house. I see a chimney and part of a roof. I hope you guys warm up soon.
I ican empathize with your mess there. Having been in New England and the Midwest for some horrific storms ....
I'd love to see photos of those dogwoods when they are in bloom. They are certainly a beautiful sight.
Hi Perry ~ Ice storms are absolutely beautiful the day after (and so are your pictures!) but can leave devastation in their wake. I drove up to New Hampshire last month and it was a while before I realized what I was seeing along the side of the road - hundreds of broken trees caused by a big ice storm. It's great to hear that your trees will survive.

Kentucky is indeed a great and peaceful place to settle in. Thanks for sharing the photos. By the way, I know a great <a href=http://bob1.us>Kentucky home</a> that might interest you too. Thanks.
