The Tree

We finally got rid of that nasty cottonwood tree that's been cluttering our yard for years. As you can see there was a price to be paid (beyond the fee paid to the tree trimming service). The big limb we worried might some day hit our house in a storm ended up hitting our house after all. The tree guy didn't have enough tension on his rope pulling the limb away from the house. You can see the result. He was embarrassed and apologetic and had someone there to repair the damage within 1 1/2 hours. We're glad to finally have it gone. This is the last mess we'll have from that tree and someone else gets to deal with it!

That is a lot of tree and a lot of sawdust.

How do you like your Eva Cassidy CD "Somewhere?"

How nice to have someone else do the work. It'll be really nice to not have to deal with the cotton every spring.

Thanks for the pictures Daddy-o! I would like a shot of the tree missing looking towards Pamela's house though. I need to be able to brace myself for all the changes when I come home for Christmas.

Thanks for the post on the tree. Mom said John took pics and I kept looking for him to post about it. Glad the company was quick to fix the roof.
