There was no hurricane wind, no thunderstorm, no warning, in fact we’re in the middle of a drought,  but … this morning when I woke up and looked out my kitchen window, there was this fallen tree in my back yard. Not all the tree, but entire branches had broken off. They fell over my fence, just hanging there, almost touching the ground, but not quite. They resembled a canopy of sorts. The branches will be cut and removed, of course, but it leaves me wondering why this perfectly good-looking tree which offers some shade suddenly decided not to.
