Our little piece of this beautiful Earth is blessed with an abundance of Oak trees. I counted and there are 30 of them. Yes, you read that right, 30! In Spring, seeing their buds reminds us that warmer weather is close at hand, and in Winter, their skeletal beauty highlights the contrasts of the season. In Summer, they provide much needed shade. In Fall, they provide the squirrels with an abundance of acorns & us with natural mulch.
Unfortunately, Spring brings serious pollen. It covers everything in a nice sprightly lime green. Summer brings a ton of pesky, noisy
Grackles, Falls leaves are prolific and seem to naturally gravitate towards the swimming pool, and Winter, well, this is what happens in Winter. A limb feel on our neighbor's fence too.
As I was typing, the insurance adjuster dropped by. From what he can tell, there is no roof damage but the gutter guard was bent and possibly the gutter as well. The tree is still there so he wants to come back once it's completely removed. Then we will see if the roof is still OK.
~Sigh~ Yes, life with trees.
