Beware of trees…

… and helping in-laws with household chores.

While chopping up a large branch last Sunday which had fallen on to Ed & Tiff’s roof, the thickest part of the branch jumped up after being stepped on and smacked me just below and beside my knee. It hurt a lot at the time, but I was unprepared for the aftermath.

Yes, I know it’s gross, but it was just so darned impressive, I couldn’t resist posting it. I apologize to anyone who was reading this shortly before or after eating.

When we were kids we had a book (I think it was called "Ouch!") that explained the process of how a bruise forms. Wish I could find that book - it was super grosly cool!

That is what you call a good smack. It certainly looks like it hurt.

That right there is a badge of honor. :) Plus you can now guilt Ed & Tiff with it since you documented it so well.
