Timber!

We've been having solid storms move through the midwest lately. The latest roundabout took its toll on a nice shade tree next to our porch. Here's what i saw leaving for work in the morning.

Um, there's a tree blocking my door. Guess i'll go out the chimney.

Uhm, okay guess I'll stay home! Actually i managed to get out and survey the damage a little more.

One of the two fallen branches of our shade tree.

We lost two adult branches on that tree. It's a good thing our electricity is buried, otherwise we would have been without power, and (gasp), an internet connection.

This branch should make one heckva bonfire.

That was close...

Hiya Matt, Nichole here... what a close shave that was! Sorry about the tree. Last year we had to cut down two dead birches from the west side of our house before they could do the same. BUt for a live one to go, wow, that's something else.
