Neighborly Gift

We just moved into a new house 2 months ago. I say “new,” it was actually built in 1916, but it’s new to us. Our neighbor to the East have a beautiful house and yard. They work really hard on it.
During the night July 4, we endured severe thunderstorms from 3 to 6 a.m. It was an impressive lightning and wind show, however one of our very large trees next to the house split and fell into our neighbor’s yard. To complicate matters, it didn’t come all the way down, it lodged itself against one of their trees about 30 feet up and stopped.
I was going to call some tree services this morning to see how much it would cost to remove the beast, but nature took it’s toll before I could get the phonebook. Another strong thunderstorm came through this morning, and as I sat at the kitchen table, it gave out a couple of warning cracks, snapped off the top of the neighbor’s tree and came crashing to the ground.
Wish I had a fireplace …
