Yesterday evening, an apparent microburst dropped 2 inches of rain in 15 minutes and snapped trees like matchsticks. We went to bed mourning the expected loss of more than half our trees, but learned in daylight that only two were damaged and one can be saved. This afternoon, a bird flew into a closed upstairs windows; again we feared the worst, and again it wasn’t as bad as we feared. I’m choosing to take this as a sign that things in the wider world might also turn out better than we think.
