The construction team stopped us. So there we sat on the windy, woodsy road waiting. And waiting and waiting and waiting. And then I noticed the huge boom connected to the tree.
It swayed the tree back and forth.
The tree started to fall. And then it stopped.
And it swayed. And stopped.
And then, almost in slow motion, it fell.
I sat there in my car with the windows open.
And I’m here to tell you that if a tree falls in a forest, it makes a huge sound.
Thump.
