As much as I hate to bump my beautiful cover down from the top (although it’s now enjoying pride of place on the page about The Second Duchess), just look at what we saw when we went outside this morning:

It happened about ten o’clock last night–we heard a strange soft crackley, crunchy, thuddy noise that sounded as if it was right outside our front door. Amazingly quiet, considering the damage. And it was dead calm–not a breath of wind. The tree just decided to give up the ghost. It missed my little car (an old vintage Honda CRX two-seater) by inches.

As it’s lying across our driveway, we’re trapped (trapped like rats! aieeeee!) until the arborist comes to cut it all up and take it away. So no farmer’s market this morning.

You just never know what’s going to happen next–you know?
