So I got back from dinner and a movie, and I was responding to a message, and playing a few words in Words With Friends, when there was a loud noise from the backyard. I wasn't sure what it was, but it was really loud. At first I thought it was some kind of fireworks or something. Turned out a huge branch fell off one of my trees. I have a lot of oak trees (some really old) on the property, and I think one of them lost a major branch. I guess I'll see what the damage is in the morning. Yikes.....

Where I live has happened sometimes the same too, that old trees lost its branches and fall to the ground, blocking the streets and avoiding the traffic of cars until they will be removed. There has not been accidents and damages, except for an empty car that was there at the moment. I imagine that the place with the oak trees is very nice.

My backyard is like a natural park with large mossy rocks and oak trees, I love it. But what to do with the branch? :)

? Oak is a very good wood, researched by people using wood-fired boilers, so you can certainly find people that will be glad to cut the branch and take it away if it is a large branch. Or you cut it yourself, season it in a heap during 2 or 3 years and sell it.

Oak is a hard kind of wood.I doubt if the huge branch that fell off has been moth-eaten.Fortunately,nobody passed then.

It was in my backyard, so unless it fell over the neighbor's fence, it wouldn't have been near any people.
