… And the sky is gray… I know you are singing with me.
“If a tree falls in the woods, does anyone hear it?”
We can attest, “no.” At least, we didn’t. I’d looked out the window first thing Sunday morning and thought, “has the Owl Tree always leaned that far? Gonna have to keep an eye on it.” We went to church, came home, looked out a window later on and, “oh no! Owl Tree down! Owl Tree down!” RIP
Thankfully nothing seemed to be impacted or squashed. “Our” owls haven’t lived here for a few years now, but they certainly won’t be able to move back in. Darn housing shortage.
Less lucky friends of ours also lost a tree this week, unfortunately right on top of two of their vehicles. Nobody was in them at the time, thank goodness, and one of the vehicles was on its last legs but they’d not hoped to send it “into the clearing at the end of the path” as Stephen King says in quite such a dramatic exit. Poor van. Again, there are silver linings like the vehicles were empty and family members had previously gotten to where they needed to be so it was after road trips!
Go out and hug your trees, people! Don’t take them for granted. Winter is rough on everyone. 😏
