Happy New Year!
Now glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of - infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes. Ephesians 3:20

A larger backyard
On Grey Cup Sunday (YAY Lions!) Calgary was hit with winds between 70 and 100+ km/h. Homes lost shingles, Christmas decorations/lights and even 40' tall trees. We however, lost 4-8' panels of fence.
This shows from the neighbors yard looking toward ours. The posts actually snapped at the ground leaving the bottom of the post still encased in cement secure within the frozen ground.
The fence's fall was broken by our downspout (no damage to the siding) and my maple shrub. While about 1/4 of the shrub has been sacrificied, it's fine and like a seat back on a plane about to land, it has returned to its full upright position. It looks like we'll be building a new fence in the spring.
