Mini Tornado in Vermont

My brother and his family were caught up in the wild storms that hit Melbourne's eastern suburbs on Wednesday.  I had to race out and collect Bruce from the airport as both Libby and Max and their cars were trapped in their home by this storm damage.

Yes that's the roots of a tree, that ripped up the footpath, as it fell.

And this is the view from the other side.  That's Libby and Bruce's driveway you can see in the background. No wonder they couldn't get their cars out. These trees came out roots and all but on our way back to Bruce's place we saw many large trees with their trunks snapped in half.  

I'm in the Inchy Hexie Flower Swap and yesterday I made my January hexies which are heading off to Iceland.  I will pop in one of my beautiful Theodora Cleave buttons too.

I just signed up to stitch along with Cheryll and friends tonight.  Would you like to join us?  Please pop over to Cheryll's and sign up.

The instructions to make this wonderful tee-pee are so clear and easily understood, that I think I'll make one for Henry.

If you would like to make one too please follow this LINK to the DIY Mommy.  Enormous thanks to Christina for sharing this brilliant project with us.

Hope you have a really happy day

Love
