Luckily it's not a really big tree, but it was a pain to get upright again. One of the few times we tried to get it up, some guy jumped out of his car and ran over to help us. I was buried under the limbs so all he saw what Stephanie trying to lift this tree by herself. He was a huge help and we appreciated it very much. I was able to get some strap on it to hold it to the fence. Later that night, one of the straps broke and it fell over again. So I went to town with the trimmers and was able to get it back up by myself. It's amazing how heavy all those small branches can be. It was still standing this morning so it should be good. But it may take a while for the roots to take again. Time will tell. Hopefully the Santa Ana winds won't last too much longer.
