These two trees fell because of the high wind gusts. Took out a section of our fence and fell across the driveway. Michael had to cut them down quickly, as he needed to catch a flight! He then used our trusty 4-wheeler to haul it out of the way.
Below is a third tree that fell... no damage here, as it fell across our leach field. 
Look at it from this angle, and you can see another tree leaning precariously in the background. 
Upon closer inspection, I noticed the ground at its base was already raised up and cracks were visible. 
I imagine it won't take much more to bring this one down, too. Fortunately, it's leaning in a direction that won't hurt anything.Below is a photo of a tree stump that is used as a "decoration" in our yard. We have several of these scattered around and I had always wondered how they come about... were they DUG out of the ground??
Well, now I know. I guess we'll have another 3 or 4 decorations soon.Lastly, as I was inspecting the trees around the house (looking for any more that were leaning), I came across this:
Looks as though one of the boys has been trying to chop down a tree with an axe! I think I know who it is, too... this was a recent Facebook status update by my very own husband: One of my summer goals: chop a tree down with an axe. Stretch goal: chop it down with the edge of my hand.Hopefully the next post won't be pics of Michael in a cast. :)
...Okay, now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
