Recently I blogged on my magical backyard and posted photos of its treasures low to the ground.
I was amiss in showing one of the treasures, high in the sky. A special tree. One that always conjured up stories between my friend Lisa and I. It’s built kind of odd for a tree. It starts with one trunk, then mid way up (which is already high) it starts to split. After this rounded split, it twists back to looking like one trunk again. Lisa and I always thought it looked like a marvelous place to climb, look out, make a treehouse for. It had to be a magical tree…
Last night a fierce storm blew through. (Have I mentioned Maryland weather?) Lightning hit our special tree. 
The break and the large limb that fell:
Lisa got hit twice, not only the tree, another fell on her car hood.
*Sigh*
Maryland weather!
