For the last several years I've been wondering if our plum tree in the backyard is falling down. I go out and look at it and ask, "Does it look like it's leaning more than it used too?" I've also gone to look for pictures of things in our backyard when we first moved in to our house. Couldn't really tell. Well ... it's definitely falling over! We went outside after a rainstorm and it was almost leaning against our play structure! We were afraid that it was going to fall on our neighbors fence so we hurried outside one family night to start to cut it down.

We discovered a nice crack in the trunk.
It's just leaning a little, right?
We finally finished a couple of Saturdays ago and borrowed my dad's truck to haul the branches to the green waste dump. Travis cut the pieces down to smaller sizes, Calissa and Parker hauled them to the truck and I put them in and squashed them down. (Conner was at a birthday party that day and got out of the hard work!) We have a small pile of firewood left to take camping with us this summer! (Now we just need to figure out how to get rid of the stump!)
