This is what it looked like before. I had a tree expert come out the next day to see if there was any way our pear tree could be saved and was told that the root damage was too extensive so we sadly had to chop up our poor tree which made me so sad.
A couple weeks later we planted this little oak tree and he shed his leaves in the winter and got all new ones in the spring just like he's supposed to!
We had a new roof put on, siding and trim replaced, removed the damaged plants in the garden, and planted new.
So just like Humpty Dumpty, we are put back together again!My heart goes out to all those who have gone through the recent tornadoes. I know there are so many who lost EVERYTHING with not even a house to come home to! That makes the issues I've been dealing with minimal in comparison!Well that's going to be it for this time. Remember to do something each day that makes you happy!

Your home is so beautiful! I am so glad you have it "back together again!"
Hello Janet...loved your post...as much damage as you received, you were able to fix things up and move on...and you are so right about others having it so much worse...we personally know people who have lost everything. Your home looks beautiful and I love the new tree!! Have a great day! Tina
Well Mrs, looking at the pictures now, it's like the trials and tribulations of the tornado hitting and all the frustrations that went with it, never happened. The front of your home is nothing short of stunning!
Congratulations! Going through damage repair is always a stressful event. Your new tree looks so healthy. I think you will be happier with an oak. The pear trees are pretty for awhile and then seem to develop problems.
Hi Janet,
So glad everything is finished. The yard and house look great!!!! Hugs
Janet, your home and yard are beautiful. I'm glad you've gotten all your repairs done. I can't imagine the devastation some have had. Love your new tree too.
Janet I know you must be thrilled now that you can sit back and enjoy your beautiful home!!!. You've had so much going on lately with the new roof, siding, planting, and your new wood flooring. Everything looks great so now just enjoy it! :)
Blessings,
Dana
Hi Janet~~
I'm so glad your home is feeling right again. It surely does make you appreciate normal days when things like that happen. It looks beautiful! Enjoy the rest of your week and here's to "ordinary" days!

We are just now going through the same thing. $15,000 worth of hail damage done to our home. We are about halfway through with the repairs, not counting the $5,000 worth of damage done to my vehicle. But like you said, we didn't loose anything and had a home to come home to. I feel for the people who lost everything.
You have a beautiful home.
