Last night (close to 7.45pm) my mom and I heard this crashing noise. At first wasn't sure if aliens had landed (this is what happens after 8 hrs of watching epix original series War of the Worlds). So, like any horror movie starts the noise is investigated. Luckily, this is reality and not Hollywood - but hey, life is stranger than fiction. My pecan tree in the backyard decided a branch was too heavy and fell, gently fainting like on my roof. Here's the yin and yang - I'm unemployed and can't really afford to get it taken care of, but luckily I have a metal roof that held up. And, my neighbor heard the crash and came to my rescue helping to break down the branch into smaller pieces. This isn't even all of it, still some on the roof (battery needed to be recharged) and I put a lot in my compost bin yesterday. #joysofowningahome #lifeisstrange #lifeisstrangerthanfiction #yinyang #pecantrees https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6L0gKpB7E/?igshid=1x7hi10c0wka

Finally, the discovery has been made and answered my "what the 🤬 is this"!!!!!! My brother seems to think it used to be a battery charger. This turned my weekend gardening project into a two month garden project. A huge thank you to my neighbor who let me borrow his shovel, doing this with hand tools has been a challenge - almost a year in the house and getting to my backyard #whywasthisburiedsodeep #whywasthisburiedinmybackyard #wtfisthis #joysofowningahome https://www.instagram.com/p/CB0qjeSpa9I/?igshid=1de5mvflx0kvf

Tough day today! First the battery went out on the mower, the PTO cable broke on it later and then had to replace a fence post! #imtired #joysofowningahome https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz9Lppbl04m/?igshid=oeg5ttxvdltd
