It actually made him cry.  He and his mom’s favorite tree lost two big branches.  The higher one fell on the lower one, and the lower one was the one that his swing was attached to.  But we bravely headed out to the tree together and looked at the damage. (as seen in the pictures) And in all honesty, he changed.  By the time we headed back into the house he was more concerned about all the flowers from the fallen branches dying……he has a good heart.

But as for me, I didn’t see the same picture in front of me…..I saw instead a chain saw project that I will probably hit on Monday.  But that is nothing new in this house with all the mature trees.  Every time the wind blows (or the sun shines) something is down.  But that is why I have a place in my yard to burn.

And I am not so sure what a pink flowered tree will smell like when it burns, but I intend to find out.  AND….it will burn with the other 10,000 branches I have picked up this past week.

But it really doesn’t bother me as I LOVE our house.  And within days the yard will be clean, the swing reinstalled, and I will be awaiting the next time I will be picking up branches to burn.

It will probably be sometime late Monday afternoon……

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
