On Monday, my family was relaxing at the lake in Minnesota on vacation. The weather was gorgeous.
Then we received word from my sister, a tornado had flown over the house. We headed home and found this.
The bird feeder amazingly survived the storm, even though the tree it was attached to did not.
The house was miraculously untouched, as were many of the neighbors’ houses. It was an act of God where the trees had fallen. It was as if He had placed each as they fell.
Friends came and helped cut apart the trees. They brought chainsaws and were ready to help tackle the problem.
The ash tree in front of the house was cut down with lots of excitements and three attempts.
This Ladybug was a little “stumped” after the tree was gone.
The next day, more friends arrived to help move the wood away to the curb and to the new bonfire pile.
We built some pretty fabulous piles of trees, which reminded us of forts and hedges.
And decided it might be time for a bonfire or two…
We also had some fun along the way!
You could finally see the house again! What a beautiful site!
We are truly blessed by the kindness of others and in return, blessed to help others clean up from the storm too! Thankful the damage was not worse and pray for those who suffered from greater impact of the storm.
And, thus ends my tale of a tornado flying over the house.
