As I was braiding Kathryn's hair this morning for school, Jason came in to tell me I might want to call the insurance man today; a tree fell onto our fence in the backyard last night. We have had a lot of rain the last few days, and I guess this pine lost its footing.
This fence is for decoration mostly at this point. We put it up for the kids and to keep Lucy safe outside, but the kids know their boundaries (although choosing to follow them is another matter) and Lucy is too (lazy) content to try to leave, so there is really no rush to fix it, although it is an eyesore.
It made for an interesting morning for the kids, anyway. They were amazed that a tree could do that. We're thankful it fell at that angle, or it may have hit our storage building or possibly the house. All in all, if it had to happen, it happened in a convenient way.
