stormy night

You just don't realize how big a tree is until it falls over.
Boooooooo! It used to be in the middle of our back yard. Now it's in the middle of our neighbors yard too. Well, if it had completely fallen over that is. But the big pine tree got in its way. So now, one side of the pine is bald...I'll take pictures later. Now I'm waiting for estimates. Ugh. On a happier note, at least we won't have so many trees now and after the sticker shock of removing them, my man will be super happy! hahahahahaha. Bee careful what you wish for honey :-) And speaking of my honey, poor guy. He's on call this week. He's been out working since 3:30 this morning. He sounds so tired.

In the last 32 hours, we've gotten 4 and a 1/2 inches of rain. Man did it storm last night! Wow. The drive in this morning was down right perilous in some spots. And closer to downtown there was some kind of underground explosion that closed streets and made traffic even worse! Geez, I was actually happy to get to work!

UPDATE;
Well, to take out both trees, the Maple that feel over and the Spruce it fell on...$1500. Ouch.
In case you're wondering what a good business venture would be, let me suggest tree removal!
Phooey.
Oh, but on the upside, we can plant grass in the backyard now!!!
