Autos of beauty 1949 Studebaker with matching trailer.
For today:
We had a good trip down, and I did not eat one donut! We arrived
parked the MH and set it up to use here for a week. We are loaning the house
out this coming weekend to Stephen and Jennifer. They are coming here for
Kennedy’s first birthday. We are gonna suffer
and stay in the motor home. LOL
I had
just checked the mail and still out front, when CRASH!!! What
was that noise????? Sherry was already out to look.
Just beyond that tire swing is the laid down oak tree. That is what sherry saw falling.
The Oak Tree was 110 feet tall.
Sherry was in the motor home and saw it fall. It is about 75’ in front
of the motor home. Now I know what I am gonna be doing the next few days!
The tree took two more trees down with it. It fell just past the fire
pit seats and swings. No real damage was done as we breathe a sigh of relief.
You can see this tree trunk twist it's full 110 feet thru the bushes. it is roughly 90 yrs old.
This one came down with no wind. It broke off at the trunk and did not pull up a big dirt ball.
And YES since we do have about 30 around here it gives one pause to think!

Oh my what a close call. So thankful it was away from you and didn't fall on the motor home. Makes one wonder for sure. Maybe you should have someone check the others out to see if they are safe. Tree people can tell if they are ok. I guess you will have a big job clearing away the tree, but you will have a lot of fire wood for your campfires. It's a record breaking weather day here in Ohio. 90 degrees and very unusual for us for sure. Most of the time we have heat on and not air conditioning in Ohio.
Oh wow. I'm glad it did not hit your home or anyone around.
working maybe

What a close call! For the life of me, I can't venture a guess what prompted it to fall. A bit of irony: Sunday morning's guest pastor spoke of the trees in the biodome. Despite the fact they grew at alarmingly fast rates, they'd invariably topple. Then, someone discovered it was due to a lack of wind. Once they introduced wind/resistance to the dome, problem solved!
I think 'Ma' has a good idea about getting a consult. Please keep us in the loop?
Oh wow! In things like this we are always grateful that no one got hurt, which I know you and Sherry are too! What an impressive sight to see though with it falling! I'm sure it is something Sherry won't forget! Maybe you could make a little bit of money on the side, LOL, with selling the firewood from it!
betty
Thank God no one was around, under or near the Tree when it fell, Glad your Honey is safe but I can imagine the sight she must have seen as they fell, "TIMBER" !!! Don't be overdoing, and with all those people coming start a "Pass Along" like on a ship replenishment only instead of food it would be wood ! Take care and Love Ya's from the 85 degree, muggy North Country !
