Oh, that would be heart wrenching. I am sorry to see it.

Thanks, Debbie. I'm sure glad to have the mulching done, as tomorrow morning we could get snow showers. Sure looks and feels like it here today.

That's awful! I know how wind storms, in our case hurricanes can damage all kinds of things. You just do what you can to put things back as they were, or make new and life goes on. At least this happened when your season is over. Now you can repair the arbor and be ready for next spring to plant some more pretties to grow and cover it. What type of morning glories where those? They are beautiful.

Ouch, ouch,ouch..... my heart is sending mega-sized band aids and kisses to make things better...M

Thanks, Flowerlady & Mora.
The MGs were Heavenly Blue and you are right, I will have time to repair the arbor before spring. Since I previously lived in So FL, I know all too well about the damage of hurricanes. This was really a tiny bump in the road by comparison. Just didn't expect it to go down, since the wind should have passed right through it. . .Live and learn.
Thanks for your support - I'm feeling better already! :)

Oh, darn! I'm so sorry that happened to you. It'll be just as beautiful in spring when it's fixed back up. I love the morning glory.

Oh gosh that's a powerful storm. We loved the pic of the arbor with MG's in full bloom. I know it'll be back better than ever and at least the plant was done for the season.

That's for letting us see the power of Mother Nature!

Oh, what a disappointment you must have experienced. Love your MG. The heart shaped leaves are so beautiful as are the flowers. But to see all of the hard work you did creating that beautiful arbor blown down like that has to hurt. Huggs to ease your pain!

Rosebush ~ Thanks for saying which morning glories they were. Definitely 'heavenly blues'. Disappointments come in many sizes and shapes, large and small. It's always disappointing to have something of beauty come down when we were least expecting it. Have fun fixing your arbor and planning next years gardens.

Thank you all for your kind words and taking the time to write. I appreciate having other gardeners who can relate to the highs and lows of "playing in the dirt."
Happy gardening to you all!

Rosemary,
I was sorry to see the ruined arbor. Sounds like you've bounced back from your disappointment, good for you! I hope you'll soon be sharing more "happy" arbor photos.

Patti

I am so sorry to see what happened to your beautiful arbor. Like FlowerLady mentioned, thankfully it was at the end of the growing season.

Don't let this get you down. Rebuild, replant and it will look beautiful again.

Ohhh, that is so sad. Here is a hug from me....Leasa
