Yesterday, we had a crazy storm - nothing to the extent of the tornadoes that hit Oklahoma / Arkansas earlier this week, or North Carolina earlier on Saturday. We had pelting rain and then the winds started. We've had worse winds though. This morning - all was good. but, sometime between 2:30-4pm, when Mr. Olive was out with little Olive at the park and I was upstairs, that limb cracked off the trunk. Little Olive and I were readying the Easter egg coloring when I looked out the window and saw the hunk on the ground.

Sunday Surprise: Our Poor Tree...
When the snow melted and I assessed our backyard, I noticed our flowering pear tree had a "break" in its trunk from the fork of a main 'trunk'? 'branch'? I thought that when Spring arrived, I'd likely have to get something to 'seal' the fissure. This was 2 weeks ago.
We planted this tree when we first moved in - it was a sapling. As you can see, after 9 years, it has grown into a beautiful tree. Now, two-thirds sit on the lawn. I'm so sad.
