Well not the whole tree, just a large branch. Though in retrospect it could have been a tree unto itself. Funny I never heard a thing when it dropped. I didn't even feel the ground shake. The tree was fine when I went off to work this morning...dodging the rain drops I went in and completed my daily tasks and came home. Tree was still fine. Waited till my daughter came over so she could run me to get blood work done. ( told her last night that the place wasn't open on Saturdays, but she was sure it was...) Yeah, sure enough the place was closed. Always being a "Two Birds" the trip over wasn't a total loss we dropped by the pharmacy drive through to pick up a script for me and then stopped on the way to take me home so she could grab breakfast for her minions. (Doughnuts, eggs, milk the usual breakfast meal stuff ) I guess I got home about a quarter after nine, the tree was still doing fine. Even though it was still raining ( sprinkling ) I had some breakfast myself, ( fasting for my test that I didn't take ) and I guess I zonked out watching Zombie House Flippers. Any who I woke an hour or so later, went to the kitchen and looked out the window as I was grabbing a smoke.. and yep you guessed it. The big old branch that topped out above the third story deck had come down..it was still raining and a bit gusty out. So much so that my little potted palm on my deck was getting blown around quite a bit. Though it faired the storm a lot better then that oak tree in the yard. I thought about texting the Boss t let him know that limb fell. ( not that much could be done about it till a service could be called to clean up the mess ) But I didn't.. I figured he'd be out in the woods hunting ( its Bow season here ) and he'd been off on Friday so I figured he'd still be sitting in a tree stand some place waiting for a buck to cross his path. So I went back to watching TV figuring that the other guy who is on call this weekend would deal with the tree. ( I don't have his number or I would have called him ) I guess I fell asleep again...you can't blame me I don't get enough sleep during the week... I think I woke up again just before noon. Caution tape strung out around the mess outside. Sun shining bright...storm over. Any who, a busy morning somewhat for me...though I didn't get much done as I had hoped too. I'll try again on Monday to get the blood work done....early enough so I can be back for work and grab a cup of coffee and end another fast. I'll continue Beth's story tomorrow for those of you interested.

I know what it's like to have a huge part of a tree come crashing down. I had a spruce tree in the back yard with a split top....half of it crashed into the back yard with a loud crash ripping a phone line and power line off the house one year ago this month. I ended up having both trees removed and the tree in the front tailored back so I wouldn't have the same problem in the future. You can see where the top part broke off! [image]

So if you didn't hear a thing does this finally answer the old question - if a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound??

Us too. The part of the tree that fell was bigger than the average tree in most peoples yards. I'm glad you got some more rest.
