I got a text from Dianne asking when the tree fell. I texted back what tree. She came back with the big one. It turned out that She and Steve had went for a walk and came across this tree that had blown down. I never heard or felt it and neither did they. As soon as I finished dinner I went for a walk to see it. The root ball is located on the West side of our place. We have had several days and nights that were pretty windy.
This picture is looking West along the tree towards the root ball.
Of course it managed to fall across three of our trails through the woods. As I was talking about it tonight with Vera I remembered hearing what I thought was someone shooting one evening.
I have been working on getting the motor home ready for a trip, moving planes around and making a few changes. I was sitting in the back part of my shop relaxing after the walk to check the tree and decided I hadn't taken a picture there for a long time. The planes you can see completely are my Ford Trimotor and my P-51C. I stopped over at Steve and Dianne's after checking out the downed tree and asked them if they wanted the wood, which they did. James offered to come up and cut it up but I told him there was no big rush as we were going to be gone.
