As you last heard from us, we had a tornado headed our way. Just as soon as I shut down the computer in the office, Razputin let out this horrible growl-snarl. I got up and looked around the sky was pitch black and the building was starting to shake. I grabbed her and rapped my arms and legs around her, It happened so fast, we ended up in a doorway. It wasn’t a tornado, I knew that because I have been through 3 of them. This was something else, it was a micro-burst. It blew out both windows in my office. If it hadn’t been for Razzy, I don’t know what would have happened. After it was over with, we accessed the damage, nothing major. So I said the hell with it and went home.
When I got home, I got sick. My beautiful 16 year old Willow tree was down on the ground. Beautiful, perfectly health, magickal and laying on the ground, I was crushed. I planted it when we first came out here. Out of all the tree on our property, I never dreamed of that one getting hurt. It reminded me of my childhood. I grew up with a huge Willow tree that my best friend and me use to play under for hours. The beautiful sweeping branches, just watching it sway in the wind was magickal. I would go lean up against it and find comfort it in when I needed it. My daughter and her husband came out and started cutting it up. That was painful to watch. My daughter took several pictures of it, two of them are below.


Whoa! So glad you and Rasputin are okay, but very sad to hear about your beloved willow tree. She had a good life with you. Lots of hugs.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved willow. I have a golden curly willow in my back yard and would be devastated if anything ever happened to her. Happy to hear you and Razputin are ok. It always amazes me how sensitive and intuitive our animals can be in helping us.
