Wind on the Knoll

Pretty big winds last night. Went out this morning to walk the dogs around the woods and to check on the state of my recently-installed wind screen for the future bee hives. Wind screen in perfect order, and nothing came down that I could see other than one dead tree that pushed over but snagged on a living tree. That hanger is pretty perilous, but not a problem — it’s out of the way, and when it comes down I can section it and move those sections.

Feeling pretty good, I headed out to do some errands, but at the very end of the driveway, a big tree came down, blocking the exit. The root ball is about 7 feet tall and tipped over from my neighbor’s side. She’s called our tree guy to come and sort it out. This is a big tree — at least 80 feet — and even when sectioned, it might require a Bobcat to load it out.
