It has it in for me!

If you didn't think four mishaps was enough...

At about 5:30 this morning, I was awoken from my sound and peaceful sleep by what sounded like a tree cracking and then falling over. And indeed, that's exactly what had happened. The huge olive tree that grew just outside the window of the room that Sarra and I sleep in had broken basically in half, and fallen into the yard. Fortunately there is no damage to the house, and although a lot of plants are smooshed, and a small branch broken off the tree down below, the main damage seems to have been done to the olive tree itself. And I can't figure out why. The wood seems to be in good condition, hard and fresh looking, and it was misting this morning, but there have been much heavier rains which I would have thought would have brought it down if it was going to fall. But no, it just randomly fell off! Which means that now I have to deal with getting a tree service out to the house to clean up. I haven't heard back from Alan yet, we'll see what he says. In the meantime, take a look at these pictures and tell me just how amazing this random hunk of tree falling down is:


It's down! 


It's large! 


That's all that's left. 

On a slightly happier note, here's my favorite picture from the weekend with Ian. It's just so cute!


Ahh, so domestic.
