Ding Dong the Tree is Dead

It's another windy day in Kingman. I didn't realize how windy until I looked out my front window. My dog had been scratching at the front door and looking out the front window off and on all morning. When we let him outside, we never let him out the front door, so I know he wasn't asking to go out. I figured there must be something out there that was bothering him.

So, I opened the front door, didn't see anything unusual, and closed the door. He was still pawing at the door and window. I parted the blinds, looked out, and still didn't see  anything unusual. I turned around to sit back down on the sofa when it hit me. The tree! Instead of standing in the middle of the yard, it's now lying on its side.

The wind has been quite strong, but I didn't think it was strong enough to uproot the tree. It wasn't a big tree by any means, and hadn't leafed out this year (it had started, but an unusual frost killed it), but still. We're trying to decide if we need to tell the rental company. I'll probably replace it with something in the spring. Or not.

Until next time, B
