Did you count the run-a-brooks that you have on your property? Seems like you have a lot of them. I am sorry that you lost a big beautiful pine. A storm such as you had always does some damage but I know that you will have things up and running beautifully by spring. I enjoyed the pictures though and all your anamials are safe. Good luck and God bless. My, but you did have a lot of rain! Did you count the run-a-brooks that you have on your property? Seems like you have a lot of them.

I have a similar threat. Three 180 footers, pine grandfathers of the property, stand in a row high on a hill not far from buildings. A field two tenths of a mile long leads up to those majestic topplers. . Hurricane winds always travel up that run. I've been warned that these conebearers are targets of mass destruction, yet they and their 8 foot bellies still wave in the wind with stalwart grace. . Watching one crash to the ground would bury me as much as seeing my home ablaze. . I believe these ancestors of generations of squirrels will continue spreading skyward beyond my visitorship -- so wind, press onward, into that hill! . .

Your photos certainly tell the story very well. I love the photos, but not the bad, damaging weather. We have had an unusual winter, also. No snow, but plenty of wind and rain in November and December and then quite warm weather so far this year. We had lots of mudslides and way too much flooding. Where I live, we lucked out and avoided the bad things. Sure loved your show today! You looked absolutely fantastic and I can tell that you did loose weight! Congratulations on your special diet work! The segment about the gardening was wonderful and the segment about the Valentine cookies was really fun. I had no idea that Russell Simmons was so serious about the areas he is involved in. Loved listening to 'Ask Martha' again and learned lots of new things. Thanks for all you do.

There were so many questions and thoughts at the moment, that I did not answer it with I LOVE the THANKSGIVING issue, and how do you get an invite? It always looks so fabulous! I am sorry to hear about the tree, but enjoy the beauty of your farm! It's so spectacular! Hi Martha,

I wistfully remember that 'bare ground' that is in your photos - yes, just a mere week ago! That wind and rain bro't in a warm 60 degrees (AND other havoc!) but by the end of that week, the air had turned bitter. Then, the end of the FOLLOWING week (just last weekend) produced 2+ feet of snow in the mid-atlantic region of the northeast. Today/tomorrow's snow event will produce another 1+ foot and tremendous winds/drifting - this time, an event that should be reaching farther north into your neck of the woods, Martha. Byebye, bare ground! One pleasant irony, though, I've found after all of our storms is, while I am shoveling, I hear robins up in the trees or flying high overhead in large flocks - I can't make them out with my naked eyes, but I hear them 'tutting' to each other, and I smile. They actually have been around most of the winter! . Back in the hot and humid summer while we were getting all that (what I tho't was wonderful!) rain, I had no idea what ol' El Nino was capable of carrying over into the winter - it just didn't occur to me! Weather-oriented girl that I am - well, live-n-learn, I guess! . =^..^= We have had similar experiences this winter in nearby Maryland, Martha.
