The Loss of a Landmark at The Acres

Yesterday's wind was ferocious. As I worked outside in it, it nearly blew me over--no exaggeration. I know I'm old and unsteady, but still. Yet, its real victim yesterday at The Acres was the Sentinel. The guardian of the pond is no more. I knew it was inevitable. I could see through it. And yesterday--the winds completed the dismantling. It will be missed.
