Timberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

We've been getting a fair amount of wind lately, and that translates into falling branches. Occasionally, it also means falling trees.

The other day, a couple of good-sized branches fell around the grounds and Miguel, Gerardo and I scouted the area to see which trees were a danger and which ones were just freaky accidents.

We ended up taking down three trees, and when we had them down on the ground, it was easy to see why they were shedding limbs. They were nearly hollow inside up near the top, as they had rotted from the inside out.

That, and the fact that everything grows quickly here, means that trees can come down whenever ther's a good, stiff wind blowing through. It's something that we have to keep an eye on constantly and it keeps us on our toes.
