Nice dinner this evening, solved a couple of computer and phone questions for a friend, and her garage storage room is now so clear that she can set up in there and not have to bring stuff into the house to do that work. We filled the back of the pickup for the thrift donation and a lot of stuff went in trash and recycling.

A huge branch came down from the neighbor's tree into my back yard. I've always worried about that tree - and had my fingers crossed that no one or thing was there when it came down. All three dogs are fine. Three or four years ago one of my trees dropped a limb in their shade garden, and I was able to take a sharp limb saw and cut it up and pull it out. But this is an immense old tree - the butt end of the limb is hung up on the tree and the weight of it is down on my compost piles. I won't be able to tell for a while if it crushed the little red oak I've been nurturing for years. We'll get out to do that this weekend.
