We had a big storm yesterday I was watching the rain feeling very happy about it when the tree down the side the one we sit under on hot hot days slowly fell over I was so amazed you expect a crash when a tree goes but this went silent and in slow motion very gently no damage done to our place or the place next door but a lot of tree to cut up and mulch and when the storm passed it was super hot and humid not fun to cut and much in that weather.This was how it looked a few days ago a great place for coffee and watching the world go by, cool and shady, not so now.
The tree was growing through the concrete amazing really we had cut it back a few years back but it reshot and was looking healthy .
Hello, that looks like a big tree. I hope the roof was ok. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!
ReplyDeleteRoof ok no damage done.

ReplyDeleteThat makes a big difference to that space!!! It's good you got rain, but such storms are nearly as bad as the fires... YAM xx
Sometimes they can be.
DeleteMerle.....
Glad there wasn't any damage!
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteMerle.......
Glad there was no damage. How amazing that it was a 'gentle' fall.
ReplyDeleteWe lost some tree dahlias and some branches in a recent wind storm and are still hanging out for rain. None forecast though.
The gentle fall was amazing I was standing at the window watching the rain and it happened.

No damage done a few wrecked pot plants but they can be replaced but i will miss the shade from the tree.
ReplyDeleteMerle........
So pleased there wasn't any damage.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Damage down the road someone lost a roof.
DeleteMerle.........
That's no good at all and what a mess. I hope you can find another shady place to sit.
ReplyDeleteBig clean up being done.
DeleteMerle........
I think you are very fortunate to have escaped damage. This really is a case of all's well that ends well.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about that.
DeleteMerle.......
That's sad that your tree fell and the shady nook has been affected. Perhaps a pergola covered with shade cloth could help.
ReplyDeleteThat was our summer spot because of the breeze up the driveway.
DeleteMerle...............
Or maybe shade sails might work.
ReplyDeleteA big loss.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right.
DeleteMerle.............
Gosh if that tree had been in a different place it could have done a lot of damage as often trees do. However, I do love trees.
ReplyDeleteYes trees are always good.
DeleteMerle...........
So sad to lose a tree, but good that it went slow and quiet with no damage done. Could the beer fairy angle cut the two stumps to fit a chair seat onto them? Or a mini table top, to sit a pot plant on?
ReplyDeleteNot sure what to do with it but so heavy it's hard to lift.
DeleteMerle..........
loosing tree near by is sad always dear Merle !
ReplyDeletei am sorry storm pulled down the tree ,i know how it feels ,it is like loosing a friend to whom used to have deep connection
this is relief that falling did not caused any harm as it happens in such cases
i think you can create a part of furniture out of it like small table or chair
you r image with cat at side bar is just adorable :)
I miss my tree it was such a good place to sit.
