Falling Limbs
I had a couple of falling limbs today - not my own, I hasten to add -- those from the Norfolk Pine in my backyard.
One had broken off over two years ago. It got caught in other healthy branches and was too high for me to dislodge. However, after the strong winds of last week, it must have worked its way down, so that it was just within reach. I used a fallen branch from the White Gum next to it - just at a convenient length to retrieve balls from next door as well -- and used the fork on the end of it to catch the limb.
It was a relief to get them down as I had visions of them falling on either my head or on one of the pets!
