[MassChestnutOrchards] Moore SP orchard

[Federowicz, Yvonne Marie]

Some areas are predicted to remain without power for several more days.
I suspect our President is in that situation, Fitchburg was mentioned at
one point.  
 
So pipes will probably freeze too...

	Hi Lois -

	 

	Glad to hear the orchard is in good shape - good luck getting
power back and cleaned up!  I was in MA over the weekend for a family
gathering and there were areas that looked pretty bad.

	 

	How did everyone else make-out?  Hope no major problems!

	 

	Kendra

	Paxton was very hard hit with the storm.  It's look like a
tornado or a hurricane came through!  All or our hardwood's lost their
tops, and they fell on the rhododendrons!  This is the worst ice storm
we've ever seen, by a factor of 10!  We won't have electricity or
running water for several more days.  
	
	The chestnut orchard, however, looks great.  Maybe because the
trees are so young, or maybe because there weren't any larger trees that
fell on them, but the chestnuts are fine.  We cooked a vegetable stew
with chestnuts that I had ordered from Empire Chestnut over the fire
last night for dinner - it was delicious.  
	My folks in Spencer have full power, etc, so we're set for food
and showers, thank heaven!  Hope everyone is safe and sound, and can
keep warm.
	
	Lois & Denis
