Freak October Snowstorm

ON HALLOWEEN OF 2011 CONNECTICUT HAD A FREAK SNOWSTORM WHERE WE RECEIVED OVER A FOOT OF SNOW WHILE THE TREES HAD NOT YET LOST THEIR LEAVES. DUE TO THE MASSIVE WET SNOW FALLING ON LEAF LADEN TREES, WE LOST A GREAT DEAL OF BRANCHES AND TWO OF MY FAVORITE TREES IN OUR YARD FELL DOWN FROM THE EXCESSIVE WEIGHT. IT TURNED OUT TO BE QUITE DISASTROUS FOR MUCH OF OUR STATE. THIS QUILT IS IN MEMORY OF THAT STORM
