Daytime Views

 

There it lays ... still thru today

 

All those big roots tore off and it just fell over. 

No big winds.

 

Good thing it fell away from Jess's trailer

These are some daytime views of the tree ...
after the landlord trimmed off the branches blocking the driveways.
We walk past it many times a day going to and from the shop,
as well as walking the little dogs.

The Sound of CRASH in the Dark

I was sitting in my room reading and heard a crashing sound outside.  Shortly thereafter, I took the little dogs for a walk and found the source of the sound ...

That's Mimosa tree laying across the driveway ...

Fortunately it fell AWAY from Jess's trailer.

I called the landlord and told him he had something to clean up when he gets home.  A proverbial "ox in the mire" ...

Brisk Morning

It's kind of a brisk morning outside.  Which is why I am hiding inside with the computer ...
I probably should put up some fotos ... at least some of the more recent ones.

Front yard with wild cherry tree
