Hello December

 
December came in like a lion...strong driven rain and ferocious winds.

When this happened, we thought a plane hit the house,
it was that loud!
That's just one branch from a huge maple tree, and 
the tree is now leaning toward the house.
We had a tree company visit yesterday and it must be removed.
It's a beautiful tree, but it has to go...



It is the maple tree all the way to the left, behind the dogwood.
The tree is huge and was here when we built this house...
I will be sad to see it go.

The Gingerbread House won the Great Christmas Light Fight!

    Oh wow, that is a big tree I can only imagine how loud that must have been, looks like it did a little damage to the house too, that will be a lot of shade gone now. Glad you all were not hurt.

    Looks like I picked the winner :)

    I am glad you are okay after the tree hit your house. The noise must have been scary.

    Glad the falling branch didn't do too much damage, Debbie. I hate to have to cut down trees... especially those that have been there so long. But you do what you have to do.

    I took one look at your photographs and thought ...Oh NO!
    So pleased you are both ok, the noise must have been very scary.

    It is a shame when a tree has to go but sometimes it is the only option.

    Take care of yourselves.

    All the best Jan

    PS Yes, the Gingerbread House did look lovely, a well-deserved win :)

    Oh no! What a beautiful tree. It would make some awesome firewood though, do you deliver?
