A Tree Falls at the Porters

Last night it was windy! Last night it was very windy! The fence is still standing--one half of the tree is not! I'm afraid it will have to get warmer before we can chop up the fallen tree into smaller pieces to clean up the yard. Hey, the tree on the side of the house is still weathering the storm.
