Good Timing

This morning we had a little incident in the yard  (photo is from after some of the cleanup was performed).

One of the big oak trees fell and apparently made quite a racket. Fortunately no one was in the way at the time so there were no injuries.

Had this happened a couple of weeks ago during the party, a bunch of people would have gotten squished...

The top of the tree landed on the wall and obstructed the sidewalk.

In the process it took out one of the apple trees (you can see what's left of it on the right side of the photo holding up the top of the oak) and most of the other.

Once it's all cleaned up we'll be able to better evaluate the damage and determine next steps.
