Wind Storm.

11-19-10 SHORT HILLS: We had a two day wind storm, clear air wind storm. Usually that’s due to a High to the west and a Low pressure area to the east. The wind around the high circulates clockwise around the center of the high, and the wind around the low circulates counter-clockwise. If you can picture that situation, the wind around both centers summates and comes at us from the northwest. Anyway it blew all the hanging leaves out of the burning bushes and other trees and shrubs. The oak tree is hanging on. The yard was full of branches this morning, and I spent an hour of so breaking them up. I also did a bit of pruning.

The roses are still flowering as are the abelia. Thanks, Lori, for the nice comment. I showed Beauty Berry recently, on 10-26-10, as a new planting. Those berries are hanging on even though all the leaves are gone.
