Nature

We have (or had) two juniper trees that framed a window in our flower bed. Honestly, I never cared much for the trees from the start! Hurricane Gustav had them leaning pretty far over, but we decided to prop them up and see what happened. Well... they were still leaning quite a bit once the steaks came out. I was actually able to push one of them completely over with my foot. I'm amazed they were still green since they were half uprooted.


Anyway... Clint cut and dragged the one I pushed over to the road. The other one was bigger and still standing tall, so we were just going to cut it down. But wait... I hear baby birds! I kept seeing a mocking bird around 'stalking' us, so I knew there was a next near by. Sure enough, it was in our juniper tree. So we left it alone until the birds were gone.


Clint cut the tree down today and this is what we found:

Isn't that neat? And check out the size of that thing!
