the perils of fall

monday we had a windstorm with 60 mph winds.
the ugly locust tree in my backyard split in half and took out the neighbors fence and another neighbors powerline. so now i have a mess of a tree on my hands that needs to be taken out. oh my.

unfortunately all my family is out of town so i have no resources of advice.

i'll be glad to have it gone. its ugly and dying.
and in its stead i can plant a better looking tree—a dogwood perhaps? something larger?

oh how i wish it were spring.
