While it took Robby several days of hard work to complete his recent makeover of our front porch, God's front yard makeover was completed in a matter of seconds. 
Even on it's side, our tree is taller than average.
We were surprised at the root system that supported this massive tree.
The view from our front door. It still shocks me every time I see it.
The kids have always wanted to be able to climb this tree.
The first mound of leaves in the road is our neighbors Bradford Pear tree that split into 3 pieces a few minutes before our tree went down.
We were lucky enough to have our electricity restored the next day. The kids have enjoyed being out of school (although I have still had school EVERY DAY!), and the tree was a source of entertainment for all the neighborhood kids for a few days. The city came at 2:30 this morning with chainsaws in hand. They cleared the road by cutting the tree into sections and pushing it to either side of the road. I think it will be awhile before we get it all cleaned up.
