All the trees fallen or broken off in our property yesterday in the wind and rain, carry with them a history of fifty years or more of history except the banana trees. Six nutmeg trees, two aracnut trees, one coconut tree, two teak tree...
The wind and rain came when we least expected!
This is the third time in the last six months we have had an experience of the fury of the wind and rain.
One tree fell on the electric pole adjacent to the house, and so electricity is also cut off!
Most of our neighbours too have also had their share of loss. The access to our home was blocked yesterday with trees fallen across the path.
Anna and I were able to cut of the branches of the tree lying across the path early in the morning and make the road usable.
Eery loss is a reminder of the history behind it. My parents who planted all these trees planned well and used the property with a good sense.
We are the beneficiaries of this investment of their time and efforts. Our labour is a means of benefit for others!
