Let's just start out with the Big News...we had an awful windstorm last night (gusts up to 69mph) and our beautiful Twisted Willow fell victim. Mike and I were pretty devastated because we felt this tree added alot to our house. Thankfully no one was hurt. When the tree fell it miraculously missed the house, my car and the power lines!
However, my car was blocked in the driveway and our tree partially covered our neighbors driveway so Mike wanted to clear out some of the smaller branches before anyone needed to go anywhere. 
He's been out there all day with a handsaw cutting off branches (it's partially my fault he was not using a chainsaw. I told him the Darwin Awards were full of men trying to do/use stuff that they didn't know how to).Let me tell you times have changed. It took over 4hrs before a neighbor came over to offer Mike any help. The neighbor that finally came over was gone all afternoon and to give him credit I think he would have come over alot sooner had he been home. Plenty drove past and gawked but none even stopped to say "Man that really sucks about your tree". We did have some come by to take little twigs for their flower arrangements though. I was pretty appalled by this. Seemed like the vultures were circling a bit. Mike was very gracious though and of course anyone that wanted any twigs for their flower arrangements were allowed to pilfer. They rummaged around and Mike didn't even give them any attitude.
I can't say I would be the same way. I suppose that's why Mike handles all the family "PR". Here's your Post Picture of Rooney (it is his blog afterall):
