If a Tree Falls in Your Back Yard...

Apparently, you don't hear it.  After waiting months for our landscapers to catch up on all the jobs the summer's rain delayed, I got out of the shower one morning a couple of weeks ago and heard a chainsaw in the backyard.  Peeking through Simon's window, I caught the crew beginning to take down the tree in our backyard.


I scooped up the boys and rushed downstairs but by the time we got there the tree was down.  And I didn't hear it fall!  


The tree was gone in a matter of hours and we enjoyed watching the backhoe grading our backyard to channel the water away from the foundation.  I think I watched it more than Elijah.  Who needs cable!
