hopefully not too bad. I don’t want those crazy damaging storms that DD wants

 

[OneBadV8]

Weather folks did say if the early storms were short and mild, the second round would be worse

Going NE so up into Michigan.

Good.

It was really muggy feeling when I walked ole Waylon a little bit ago

 

[BeDome]

thought about planting some arborvitae shrubs in its place

Probably a good choice, slow growing, easy to maintain, all shapes and sizes available, perfectly hardy here.

No downside, other than spider mites, but those pesky critters hate cinnamon and pepper sprays. Again, easy.

I planted one of those mugo pines years ago… it may have grown a couple of inches…

Also tired of the current tree shedding a few dozen limbs with every strong breeze.

When we get storms it’s a mess

I don't want crazy damage. Just some hail damage to my roof!

Finished the sides and roof on the shed...I'd be willing to bet tornadoes are making a beeline for it!

Bye bye, tree.
Dropping sticks is only tolerated short term for me.
Two neighbors have aging honey locust trees. Nothing big falls, but every time you look away, another inch diameter stick comes down often across a sidewalk.

I'm predicting the best of it misses us to the north.

It's that way with my oaks and even my maple.

I don't know what kind this one is, but it's definitely the kind that isn't going to make it all year
