Nov. 1st 2012
I am happy to report upon arriving at Belle Grove Plantation yesterday, we found no trees down! Not even a branch! We had just a few small limbs no bigger than a pencil down, but that is to be expected. Most of the leaves from the hickory tree near the caretaker’s house are off the tree. It was so beautiful just a week ago with its bright colors!
Hickory Tree
We are happy to report our walnut tree has survived yet another storm and are standing strong after 200 plus years!
Walnut Tree
Thank you to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers for us through this storm! We really appreciate your support!
We want to send out our thoughts and prayers to those who were in the path of the storm and who have not fared as well. We hope that things will get back to normal soon! Please let us know how you are doing!
