Excuse Me, Your Roots are Showing

As a result of yesterday's snow/wind/rain storm, one of our trees uprooted. It was close enough to the road that we were scared it would hurt someone or take out the power lines if it fell. We called a tree service and had someone come out yesterday evening. He reassured us that it wouldn't fall on its own, but it still made us uncomfortable, so we had him take it down today.

I had to stand out in the road and stop traffic. A few neighbors came out to watch and stopped the cars coming the other way. Then they helped clean the branches off the road so the cars could get by.

This is looking towards the road after the tree is down, obviously. You can see the power lines in the background, still in tact, thank goodness. We had a 12 hour power-outage yesterday and I really didn't want to be the cause of another one. And no one got hurt, double thank goodness!
