We had a routine mid-summer squall come thru our metropolitan area this afternoon. No big deal. But of course, nothing is routine these days. So down came my enormous oak tree - easily the biggest tree on my lot. Thankfully it fell away from the house. Another planting opportunity I suppose.

There was a huge wisteria (which my wife despised) which climbed up to the very top of the oak - the wisteria\'s amazingly sinuous trunk was a foot in diameter. Anyway, the 2nd picture shows it spiraling around the fallen oak. My wife is at least pleased about the demise of the wisteria.

Ah, the joys of gardening!
