A big, giant tree has fallen over in our back yard
All the rain must have finally taken it out. It's too bad too. It's about 20 feet tall and about 11 or 12 feet wide. We've only lived in this house for six weeks, so I called my dad, asking him if there was any way we can save the tree.

He said no, and then he added that he'll be over tomorrow with a saw. I figured he meant a chain saw, but he said no, just a regular hand saw. It's blocking the steps to the garage, but I can't seem to move it on my own (although I can lift it - I'm such a he-woman). Ah, the joys of homeownership.

I will miss the tree - we had become quite close over the few weeks.
