A Tree Falls in Joppa

Did we seem a little disorganized at last Saturday's market? We had just started picking produce for the market when a storm--complete with torrential rain, hail, and high winds--hit us on Friday night. We could see out the window that a beautiful, huge oak from the front yard was knocked over. The electric went out. After the short storm, we headed out to survey the damage. The oak had taken out tree limbs from two other trees, some fencing, and a couple of blueberry bushes. Tree limbs were down everywhere. A pine tree had fallen over, its roots forcing a section of fence into the air.

Q: How did a log get into the garage?
A: Through the roof!

Fortunately, the crops seem OK. Some plants got a little beat up, but most have recovered.
