Tree-mendous Luck: A Close Call with Nature’s Movers! This morning, my Ring camera alerted me to movement on my back patio. Taking a look, there was a very young deer happily feeding on a tree outside my living room window. But wait, I don't have a tree there!!Upon inspection, I found a fallen tree almost against my house.  That tree was upright yesterday in my open backyard.  Sure, I heard the rain and the thunder during the night—no big deal, just another summer storm, not at all unusual.      The trees even missed the new AC.Look how close...only a few feet away! Not one, but two trees down !At least the deer are happy and well fed!That is what I'm calling tree-mendous luck!  06/18/2025
