Falling Trees!

Obviously it has been awhile. We’ve been busy moving into the house and fixing it.

We moved into the home a week before hurricane Irma. Our biggest worry was the dead pine tree in our front yard (center of the picture – right side of the double pine).

 
The dead tree made it through the storm but we decided since we had the dead tree along with several other weaker double trees (two trees coming from the same base), we wanted to have them removed. Watching the tree service was fun! They dropped the trees exactly where they wanted them.



Some of the crashes were enough to scare me and to dust the house with the vibration.

I understand your concern about the trees and the hurricane. Too bad you needed to cut down the trees: they can be a great source for wildlife and wildlife veiwing.

I had your viewpoint at first. We spent a lot of time discussing the options. However, the trees were partially dead and/or weak and one of the trees nearby fell during Hurricane Matthew taking out the power for the neighborhood for several days. Plus, while these trees were home to wasps, the remaining oak trees we still have are feeding squirrels and deer.
