Death of a tree.....

I got up this morning with nothing to blog about... I have had vertigo the past few days which limited my sewing, embroidery and reading time. I have actually been able to clean, but that would be a boring blog....

Until this morning..

I am in the midwest and we have had rain since forever. Areas near here have had flooding and we are watching the rivers crest again today. The ground is saturated. Now the wind has started. I live down in a hollow and we always have wind, but today it is rattling the windows and flue. Sometime within the last hour this happened. I never heard a sound. That tree must be 100ft tall (ok, just talked to DH and he says the tree is about 30ft tall, seems I always think things are bigger than they really are).




That is NOT my house on the left, but that is my shed. And yes, that is my no grass lawn.. This is a fairly new neighborhood so all the lots have not been sold. The neighbor was really lucky that this tree didn't go the other way and slam right into his roof. I think it missed the other side of shed, but it is wet and windy and I am not going out to look. I sent these photos to DH at work so he now knows that his Saturday work will involve the chain saw. He will end up doing the whole tree. We know for a fact that the neighbor doesn't have a chain saw as he asked our son one time if he could borrow ours and our son said we didn't have one. Well, he didn't know we did....


Happy Sewing,
Nancy
