Still Leaning

Many in our little country town are taking note of this beauty leaning more and more each year.

We wonder when the collapse will happen.

We’ve been wondering for at least five years. If and when it collapses, we will document it.

I’m leaning a bit more myself. Yesterday was a glorious upper 70’s day and we worked outside while our hired teens worked for 3 hours on our acreage to clean up as much of the debris that they could from the powerful windstorm that occurred while we were on our river cruise.

This pile is larger than it looks on camera.

I weeded this area while the teens raked and hauled.

We’re continuing with the work today, another sunshine filled day predicted with temps into the 70’s!

My work will be short this morning because I have a massage scheduled for 11am. I schedule these far out and my gal is booked out for months so I can’t change the appointment. Pretty sure after more work this morning that massage will be what my old body needs!

We are tackling large limbs that fell, too.

The windstorm of winter 2026 will go into the books!

Have a good day!

  1. We’ve been doing this for several days, too. Gotta get everything burned before the summer burn ban starts.

  2. I’m so glad that you have help with cleaning up from that windstorm that occurred while you were away on the cruise, Ellen.

  3. Gracious, you do have your work cut out for you, but thankfully, you seem to have some good help. It looks like a perfectly beautiful day to work outside, but take care of that back. I loved the pics of the old leaning barn. That’s how I feel some days, but like the barn, I’m still hanging on.
