But wait, where's Babe the Big Blue Ox?

It was a sad day at Spiderwick House yesterday. This winter was rough on our trees, and one of them uprooted itself from the very soggy ground and was leaning against the fence. We thought about pulling it back and staking it to hold it up and see if the roots would grab again, but the yard was much too soggy to hold the stakes. We're not even sure this would have saved the tree. So, we had to cut down a perfectly healthy tree. This was very sad to me and hubby, plus this tree provided lovely privacy from our neighbor, whom we've never met, but there's a lot of curious activity over there. We were also told she loves to "party (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)." Not really our thing.

Oooh, my very own Paul Bunyon - I think I'm in love
