Uprooted

Mother Nature is a crazy thing. Last night we had a wee bit of rain and apparently a huge wind gust that came through just right and our neighbor lost one of his hundreds of years old oak trees. It is the same oak tree that the horses love to rest under, thankfully they weren't in his pasture when it feel. I have never seen a tree up close that has been uprooted this way and am amazed, add to that it has been very dry here and I just don't understand. It is really kind of sad. I took Hads out to take her picture next to the tree and explore something you don't see every day and ultimately Wayne had to come out and coax her up on it. She is such a unique little thing. Things that should scare her don't and things that shouldn't do...
