My Morning Surprise...

As I was making coffee this morning, after pleasantly sleeping in for an extra hour (kids are on spring break...), I looked out my kitchen window and saw something unfamiliar.

We have a very large pool in our yard and therefore, we also have no trees so as not to deal with the leaf issue in our filter.

But today - we have a tree...in our backyard...right across the roof of our shed!



It's been a very wet winter and we had strong winds on Tuesday but yesterday was sunny, warm, and beautiful! I guess the tree had just had enough of Mother Nature pounding it.

So good-bye old tree - we will enjoy our new view and remember your sacrifice...
