Here are a couple of pictures of the Box Elder tree that decided to tip over about 6:45 this morning. We were just stalling on getting up and getting ready for church. All of a sudden there were all these popping sounds like gun shots or fireworks going off. I looked out the window and some trees were moving and some weren't. Then I could see the tree on the ground. We had planned on having the tree taken down a while ago, but the siding project started and the tree people couldn't get in the yard around the construction crew. Now someone will have some wood for campfires when it dries. I took these pictures while standing our the new deck. I am glad that we did not get up as soon as we usually do on Sunday mornings. Wayne could have been right under this tree as it came down on his way to feed the heifers. It did add some a job to his morning routine before we left for church, but we still made it on time and no one has been hurt in the process and the pasture fence was not taken down when the tree fell. That's a good thing!
