The thunderstorms of this weekend did some pretty significant damage. Luckily for these two cases of fallen trees, nobody was injured. And both stories are pretty cool too!

This tree toppled directly on our families compost heap. I'm happy to report that the tree was rotten enough to not do any damage to the half-rotted railroad ties and its completely rotted contents.

I can't help wonder if this tree was lonely and wanted to join the party of multiple organic materials decomposing for the benefit of a future healthy soil.

As rotted as it is, I'm still quite happy this didn't happen when I was throwing out my nectarine pit this weekend. I'm sure this baby would still pack quite a wallop.

As you will see in the vid below, quite a few wedding revelers in New Boston lucked out this weekend as well.

I'll have to read up on my folklore and superstitions about how lucky it is to have a tree fall on your reception. Since dozens of people were around the area and nobody was hurt, my vote is that it is very fortunate indeed. Congrats to the lucky couple!
