The old Maple tree...






We woke up to snow this morning, really wet and heavy snow! Can you believe what it did to the old maple tree?! I have to tell you the story behind it though... Uncle Robert had gone out to try and get some of the snow off of the branches, because he could see how heavy the snow was, and he knew how brittle the branches were, he had pulled the ladder out and was shaking the branches, he had a thought that he should move, and he did, only seconds later the branches came crashing down! Aunt Renee' & Krystal heard the branches snapping and rushed to the window, they had seen Robert there only seconds before and it gave them quite a scare! They thought it had fallen on him! Aren't we lucky to have the spirit guiding us through each and every day?!

The Phister family is mourning the loss of the beautiful favorite tree in R&R's yard. But, we are very glad Robert is safe!! Is half of the tree down? Yikes. That's crazy. That really was some wet, heavy snow.
