Timber!


During each windstorm over the past year and a half I've worried about the tree in the backyard toppling down on top of us. Three strategically placed cables have held the entire tree together for the past ten or so years and with them in place the tree even withstood hurricane strength winds. Yet, with blue sky showing through the main trunk we weren't hopeful it could withstand North Dakota winds many more times.

So, after a full day's work, the worry is gone and there's no more tree - just a lot of wood that we'll (OK, maybe just Dave) be splitting, stacking and burning.
