(no subject)
Oh, hahahaha... I mentioned last night that I heard a sound outside during the wind storm. It sounded a bit like the tarp that we have over the back swing or some aluminum siding coming loose. No, it wasn't either of those things. It was a tree, the entire top half of a large one, falling into the backyard and partially onto our shed. How it didn't make more noise I have no idea. IT SOUNDED LIKE A FLAPPING TARP! Mind you, we have been waiting for this tree to fall for the last fifteen years or so. We don't know how we are going to get it down the way it is wedged. We'll probably have to call a tree service. The worst part is that the tree was still alive. Hopefully the bottom half will live. It's in a strategic spot that keeps our back yard from washing away. With the top gone it leaves a big empty spot in the skyline of my back yard.
Also, it looks like one of the Petes (that is what we call our local squirrels) still had a nest in that tree. He is scrambling all over the broken piece.
