If a tree falls

If a tree falls in the woods when you come out in the morning to take your walk and you hear it and then see it fall would you be surprised? I was this morning at about 6:15. I had just walked out of the house and heard a crack, crack, crunch and looked toward the woods behind the neighbors house. The tree fell with a whoosh, snap thump. Wow.

The air was still. Nothing moved. The tree just fell.

Being a somewhat curious person I walked down the woods path at the end of my walk to see exactly what happened. Maybe the tree fell over the path. Nope it didn't. It had been standing on the edge of the creek and the stream had undercut its roots. It just happened that it chose 6:15 as its time to fall.

Well that is life on the Court.
