Death by Papaya .................

A close call to say the least.......................
The other morning sitting on our verhandah having our usual 6 am coffee - still dark outside, dogs all out in the yard  - we  heard a huge crash!  We could see all the hounds out the front and couldn't figure out what was going on.  Greg went out and checked the yard and there it was..............our huge Papaya tree just off our patio in the backyard had crashed to the ground.  It was quite the mess.  A very large branch ladden with not yet ripe papaya fruit had ripped away.  Our patio table sits right near where the branch came down and luckly I was not in my usual chair!!  That darn thing crashed right on to where my chair was positioned! 
Greg was laughing saying that he would have written the obituary to read - " Wife dies in Mexico - Papaya Tree Incident - No Crime involved!!"
Here's the aftermath!
