So there I am, straightening out the backyard on a Sunday morning, putting soccer balls away and stuff like that. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I see that cleaning up the yard has now taken on a whole new meaning. The tree, above, lost one very big branch, and it landed right on the fence. Luckily there was minimal damage. Eric, age 7, stayed with me the whole time, dragging branches away, while I “went to town” with an axe and hand saw. The photo was taken with my new iPhone.
