Timber... again

Last night we woke up to hear a loud crash. I thought it was in the house but it was actually outside. Here's the view from our front door this morning.


Yes, that's right. More of our Bradford Pear tree fell during a storm last night. It did not hit the house or either car so that's a good thing. It's so badly damaged that we're going to have to take down the whole thing. We are sad. This tree was very big and pretty and we will now have zero trees in our front lawn. We're going to have to start from scratch next spring.


You can't see it in the picture but the tree took out our yard lamppost. So, we'll have to replace that too.


You can see the huge chunk that has been taken out of the tree trunk. That's gotta hurt!


It missed the house by a few feet.

Luckily we have a neighbor who LOVES to play with his chainsaw and is willing to take this down at a minimal cost.
