The first rain of the season is barreling down today after a very windy night.  A big branch fell from our very old locust tree but was suspended about 40 feet up in the air between two trees.  The timber faller just left after an amazing job of climbing both trees with ropes and climbing gear and carefully bringing the branch down while missing the phone and cable lines.  He was very skilled.
