<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nYou don\u2019t wake up in the morning expecting that a tree will come crashing into your house that day\u2026and then it does\u2026yep\u2026.that\u2019s literally what happened today\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My husband was in the house when he heard a chainsaw outside. He went out to see what was going on and found out our next door neighbor had hired a tree removal company to come and cut down a couple of huge Cottonwood trees from his backyard. The workers were starting to cut down a tree and my husband saw that the direction they were hoping to bring the tree down was not going to be the direction that tree was going to fall. He told the workers that tree is not going to fall the way you are trying to make it fall. They looked at him like he didn\u2019t know what he was talking about. Now anyone that knows my husband knows that the man grew up on a farm and knows exactly what he\u2019s talking about on those types of things\u2026but clearly the workers didn\u2019t think so as they blew him off. My husband then asked the workers if they had a lot of experiencing doing this. They said yes they knew exactly what they were doing and they went back to doing it. All he could do was stand and watch as those workers continued to cut down that massive tree sending it crashing right onto our house\u2026it came barreling onto our property decimating several sections of our metal fence, crumbling stone blocks on our retaining wall, ripping gutters off the house and crashing onto our roof\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c*#(&#)(%#)()(*$)*@#)$\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My husband said that\u2019s the closest representation I am allowed to give of the \u201cfarm words\u201d that came out of his mouth next after he watched those workers bring that tree crashing down in a trail of destruction across our property and onto our home after he\u2019d literally just tried to warn them that\u2019s what would happen if they kept doing it the way they were. But what tells you how good a man I married is the fact that after he had a moment to get over the shock of the damage they\u2019d caused to our property my husband went and apologized to the workers for how colorful his language had been when it happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s going to take several days if not several weeks to get everything cleaned up and all that was damaged today fixed and to have things back to looking as pretty as they did yesterday before that tree came crashing down on us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although as I sit here thinking about it tonight I\u2019m struck by the thought that perhaps waking up in the morning expecting a tree will come crashing into your house isn\u2019t a stretch for 2020\u2026pandemics, earthquakes, fires, riots, trees crashing on your house\u2026what\u2019s next for 2020? \u00a0\u00a0A ginormous Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is going to be lumbering down a street??!! Sadly at this point I don\u2019t know if any of us would even be surprised\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just a typical 2020 day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
