When you take a rural road in these here Pineywoods, you never know what you might happen upon. Last weekend, we went out to the deer lease just to get out of the house for a bit. Our way home was stalled by. . .

a road block. . . a tree to be more specific. Up ahead of us there were tall trees on either side of the road- the kind that shade the road when the sun’s out. But, I guess this time, the rain was just too much for one of the trees. By the time we’d pulled up on the scene, an eighteen wheeler had already unhooked his trailer to see if he could pull the tree out of the road. And just as we were arriving, a welding truck pulled up, two men jumped out, and grabbed a pair of chain saws.

In this neck of the woods, neighbors are always out there to help you- and their quick about it. We don’t wait around for help to arrive- we make help happen. But, in this case, the we, wasn’t quite we. It just so happen that we were stopped by a barn. So, I got my camera out and “entertained myself”. It was raining, so I just stayed in the truck. (The rain also explains why I couldn’t get any clear pictures of the scene in front of us through the windshield.)
