Timber!

Sad but true. I was standing in the courtyard looking at the cool branch that hangs out over the side of the restaurant, admiring it really. I mentioned to Pedro that it looked a little heavy and that we should prune it back so that it doesn’t break. It would be a shame to loose our piñata tree you know.

Well go figure get up on Saturday and it has fallen down. There was a pretty big rain last night and the branch was also full of the seasonal crab apple crop, not to mention upon further investigation the center of the trunk that the branch came out of was half rotten. Dang! It will truly be missed by all, well except by the grass that could never grow there in the corner of the courtyard. I think that I am going to plant a new tree there. It looks so empty.
