Rock-A-Bye Baby On the Treetop...

...just hopefully NOT this treetop.  

Hayes and I were snoozing away this morning (while our fabulous husband/daddy was cooking us breakfast!) when we heard an odd noise.  We ran to the window to spot a HUGE (I mean MASSIVE) tree in our yard had completely uprooted!

The good news is that it fell away from the house (and Hank's car) and smashed the awful chain-link fence that I despise (must be a sign that it's time to take it down!).  It did, however, completely block the road.  We were really lucky as it was so early in the morning the cute little neighbor children who normally play in the road weren't out yet and nobody was driving down the street.  

So, it's now three hours later and the city is here with chainsaws-a-blarin'.  What an adventure!

I'm not at all sad to lose that dog run (since, as you know, our four pounders don't need a run - more like a square of grass is fine for them).  

Hayes assessing the damage.

Completely blocking the road is NOT a way to win over your neighbors!  We completely blocked in our neighbors driveway.  OOPS!
