We cut down the lilac tree which had fallen across the path. It had lain there, untouched, for two weeks. I had not been able to do anything about it, but I had borrowed a saw from Sarah's, when we last walked up there, with this in mind. This morning Taichi Dave just appeared on my doorstep (from heaven, I think) and sawed right through the trunk with the rusty old bowsaw. All I could do was watch in awe, hold it still, and say a prayer for the lilac tree.
The boys enjoyed helping and cutting up the tree and are in eager anticipation of the bonfire we will have.
