The season of accidents

This has been a terrible last few days for us.

First Dusty was clearing trees from the property that were hanging low over the power lines.  He'd made great progress too.  Then as I was coming down with the kids in the car to help him out - he was working on a very dangerous tree.  

Before I had the words... "it's going to hit the power line" out of my mouth, there it went.  The tree hit the power line.  And where DID that white F-150 truck come from?  The tree landed on the truck's windsheild, jarring and startling the woman driving it.  

It was a foggy day, cold and still.  Dusty called 911, and aide cars, firetrucks and the sherrif all arrived.  

It was all very scary - and I'm sure especially so for the woman in the truck.  We were so worried and scared.  She was checked out by the aide car and seems ok.  Thank goodness.  

For us - another financial obligation to be met.
