Gate Crasher

Another weekend of soccer game cancellations equals another week of soaking rain here in North Texas.

A big thunderstorm blew through last night, tipping a tree down in our backyard.

I called the city of McKinney at 9 AM on a Sunday morning and they actually had a crew out here by lunch. 

Go go local government!



The kids had fun in their "tree house" for the brief time that it lasted.





As a science experiment we counted the rings in the trunk and determined that the tree was 46 years old, the same age as me!


Everything is now cleared up. 

I don't think that McKinney is going to fix my fence, so that one will be up to us.
