How many rednecks can you fit in our backyard?


After a fateful encounter with a bolt of lightening last year, a portion of the sturdy oak in our backyard met its untimely demise.  Rather than letting the rotted portion fall through our roof, or that of our neighbors, we opted to have it removed.  Stupid home ownership.  You will notice that all pictures were taken stealthily from our kitchen or mudroom.  The tree guys scared me.

Their truck & crane filled half of the backyard:

They didn't tell us that plumbing was included!



My poor garden!

Missing is a photo of the forlorn empty space previously occupied by the mighty oak. Also missing is a photo of a cat watching from the window.

Also missing is the photo when the sound of chainsaws abruptly ended as someone on the ground was yelling "Stop! Stop!" at the guy in the tree.

Kitties were unimpressed.

The mighty oak still stands; it merely had an arm amputated.
