Daggum nature. Laughing… oh, the beast of it all. So we had a storm….

About a week ago, we had a huge thunderstorm move through. I came home to find a rather large (about 2ft at the base) limb down in my yard from my favorite maple tree. When I looked, it wasn’t really down but rather still half-attached – on the ground, but still attached to the tree. Neighbor Ron said “Look, it’s on the power lines. Call the power company and let them deal with it.” They did – by trimming it away from the lines and saying “the rest is your problem, buddy.” They were even kind enough to leave the trimmings in the yard and on the deck. Sigh.

Enter the golfing buddies. Two are coming over this weekend with chainsaws and a chipper. Until then, I can’t cut the back nor – more importantly! – use my chipping area for golf practice. Now that is a serious problem.
