First off, Hey y'all. I'm back! Again. Yeah, I know. I say this entirely too much, but whatever. Latest pic of me taken at midnight right after I opened the patio door, stepped out onto the deck and screamed JUMANJI!! as loud as I could.
That may not have been in my best interests because two hours later, I heard a scraping sound, and I thought it was one of the dogs scratching at her crate here in the living room (we crate them at night) and I told her to chill and went to bed. I've worked quite a few hours this past week so I was fairly tuckered out.
In retrospect, I *probably* should have looked outside again because...at 10 this morning, my husband comes running into the bedroom going 'wake up, wake up!' all in a panic.Usually, his panic is something mundane like 'can't figure out how to turn the cable box on' or 'why is my laptop trying to force me to do an update' so I didn't think much of it, until I came into the living room and looked out at where he was pointing...

Yup. That's a pine tree. On my deck. On my fence. On the ground. Basically everywhere except where it's supposed to be, which is UPRIGHT AND ERECT. Luckily, depending on how you look at it I suppose, the only thing it took out was our fence, as had it fallen in any other direction I'd be typing this with a tree in my lap or the neighbors would be. .
Hopefully our homeowner's insurance will cover the cost of the fence repair (the same fence we had installed last year to keep the pups from jumping it),and hopefully the tree removal.
That's the year so far...yeah.
