The Gale Windsnapped a Dead Tree

By the way she set to barking, I guess Penny saw the big dead tree fall across the driveway on the 16th. It upset her so much, you would have thought a horde was coming up the driveway to get us all! She only calmed down after I walked out there. I took pictures of it so Clint would know what he has to do when he gets home. It must have scared the dog because she kept"murmuring" about it.

I asked Clint what items he needed ready and prepared them. I have tried to do that for anything I could over the years. He is always appreciative. He came home an hour early and made short work of it.

Lightning struck two of the tall pines lining our driveway many years ago. I have been watching them, wondering when they would fall. The remaining one is taller and is awaiting just the right storm. I will keep watching.

If the clouds are full, they pour out rain upon the earth; and whether a tree falls toward the south or toward the north, wherever the tree falls, there it lies. Ecclesiastes 11:3
