Not sure if it is related to the wind storm. There may have been a power outage.

A graph showing the wind and gust readings in 24hours from March 23-24 ending at around 6PM. The readings are mostly flat until around 2PM on the 24th when it suddenly goes up to over 20kph for wind and 40 to 84kph for gusts.
The graph. #bcstorm #wind #portalberni

arbutus tree standing about 9 feet tall beside a wire cedar post fence
A small bud on a branch
Last photos! The arbutus is doing great!!
I am a little worries that the damage it suffered from rutting deer yeaterday will lead to disease. 🤞
But the hazelnut tree is budding!

a small plum tree grows with the pond in the background
A wide photo of the now empty spot with a puddle of muddy water where the blue tarp was with the large rocks now orderly along the edge of the pond
The pump bay has been emptied of water.
rocks moved!

a small rhubarb clump grows in a garden box
a daffodil blooms at the base of a tree surrounded by black rubber liner
A few little buds start at the end of a small branch.
Things are growing in the backyard despite the continues #poolPond chaos.
Rhubarb is sprouting fast. A daffodil held on near the hazelnut tree even with all the disturbances.
And the young plum tree is budding!

wide view of the pawn shows it almost full with black liner and large larger, white rocks around the edges.
I am back to moving rocks for the pool pond lol.

about it at the end of an apple tree has a tiny leaf. In the background blurred is a gray stairway up to a blue sided house against the backdrop, blue sky and Greenbush.
clover covers the ground in front of a charging electric vehicle blow up blue sided house
The bud at the end of a apple tree has not quite opened. In the background is a city street and some houses and blue sky.
leaves of a hydrangea bush open against the backdrop of a pond
spring is happening! The blushing apple is opening. The northern spy is not quite there. The clover driveway is full. The lilac bush is busting out. All the hydrangeas are leafing. It's all good!

A large rhododendron stretches to the blue sky!
