Bye bye branch...

All that snow yesterday (and it is still snowing today, yuck!) and this is what happened to our tree.

I am super bummed out for two reasons. 

1.  I really wanted it to fall on the deck, not beside it! We need to repaint the deck AGAIN.  If the tree had fallen on it, we could have replaced it with the plastic composite decking that you don't have to paint!

2.  That branch provided some AMAZING shade for the deck and privacy from the neighbors.  Now that it is gone we can see right to the neighbors and there will be little to no shade.  Sad face.

Oh well, what can you do right! I guess clean up the branch and re-paint the deck.
