FINALLY!
After 6 weeks, our sad, broken, once beautiful trees were FINALLY picked up. Took about an hour for 3 trucks to take and dispose of our tree limb mess outside our front window. I need to take an "after" picture, but regardless, here is what we looked at for 6 weeks all from our tiny yard. Makes you wonder if we have any trees left, eh? Well, not many. Two, at least, will have to be cut down this spring. At least we still have the two big pretty ones that shades most of our house in the summer. A lot of our neighbors won't have any left. Our friend's, Heidi and Jase, had two huge trees in their front yard which are today, just two tall tree trunks. That is all. Will look so different when those are gone. Amazing what ice and freezing temps for days and days can do. It will be very interesting to see what our city looks like this spring when the leaves reappear.

Wow. You should have called me I would have brought the marshmallows! I'm glad your life is back to normal after that mess!
Sorry...one more comment. Did you paint that brick on the front of your house or is that just a type of brick? I love that look it looks like you live in a little cottage!
Oh, how awful. My parents had the same thing but I think their pile was about 10-12 times as big as yours and they had 4 piles. No kidding! They have/had alot of very tall trees in their yard. It took them weeks to come and take it away, too. So, Missouri experienced the same as Illinois. I wonder if any other states experienced the same. CRAZY!!!What did our old house look like? Did she lose any trees?
WOW! Glad you got that taken care of! Can't believe all that came from your tiny little yard!!
Finally is right! Thank goodness the limbs are finally picked up! Hope you can put that storm behind you and never experience it again!
Val, I am jealous!!!! We still have our piles. Maybe next week?? although mine is nothing compared to yours but we didn't lose any tree's, just a limb or two.
