...does anybody hear? Apparently not. This huge old gal fell down last weekend; just pulled up from the roots. It happened down in our lower pasture. It was just over the fence in our neighbors back yard and it crashed down on our fence and laid down across our pasture. None of the neighbors close by heard it fall. Amazing. I estimate it to be about 6 feet around and 100 feet tall, maybe 300 years old. It is a black oak tree. We are in contact with Urban Lumber Co and hope they can somehow cart it out when it dries out in the summer and then use the trunk for something special. I would guess it is beautiful wood. Meanwhile we have lots of work cutting up firewood and clearing the brush (not to mention fixing our fence). Lots of warmth there. Our neighbors' old handyman says wood warms you 3 times, once when you cut it up, once when you split it and a third time when you burn it.

| you can see our smashed fence |
If we don't get it out I suppose it will be a great play structure for the sheep!
