A Walk in the Park

Dying Harry Lauder Walking Stick tree

in our yard in Pittsfield

Yesterday we saw a tree branch fall right on a group of children from a daycare center taking a walk in the park.  No wind, no warning.  Just a loud crack and then a branch coming down on their heads.  No one was seriously injured, thank God.

I've never seen that before.

This sabbatical has all sorts of surprises.
