Our biggest storm of the season came the first full week of May. It is not uncommon to get snowstorms in May. It is uncommon to have school canceled and get 10+ inches. Of course, late season snow is wet snow and the trees are full of leaves. I was excited about the moisture and a getting a snow storm. Marshall was less excited, and rightly so. Most of our trees did survive and Marshall shook the ones he could. However, we did lose a big branch in the backyard. I'm pretty sure the other big branch was only saved due to it leaning on the evergreen next to it. I immediately saw it and thought of the song, "You've Got a Friend in Me" when I saw it. The evergreen did bend, but didn't break.
It's a good metaphor for many of the friends we have in our lives. We lean on them in times of need and hopefully, they feel they can lean on us as well. And a reminder, that being flexible is a skill, too. Thankful for all our friends and support we get when we need it. A few other pics of friend activities this week.
