So the original intent of the post was to show you before and after photos of our driveway and front yard as the final items to have been renovated before winter set in. Here they are:
The more entertaining photo, however, is of a tree that crashed into our backyard yesterday morning, after what was a fairly minor rainstorm. Fortunately, no one was hurt. (Evidently, our renovations are not yet at an end. <sigh>)
I put up a photo of this on Facebook and a story thread began, with contributions from many people. I may put the story (as it currently exists) up on the blog later (with the names of the contributors redacted, of course, in order to protect the guilty).
Not Guilty! Well, ok, just a teeny bit.
