Two violent storms put one of our trees down — the edge of the woods, no worries, but our neighbor lost half of a huge Hackberry tree in their yard that fell on the street. I heard a chainsaw going and looked out in the dusk (longest day of the year) and saw another neighbor who has a tree service (Northern Arborists) and his son working in the dark with his truck lights on the scene. They cut enough to clear a lane in the street. Bryan and Jodi were at their lake house and Bob called them to give them the news. Turns out Jodi had a premonition — driving up to the lake on Friday she told Bryan, “I am really worried about that tree.” They will have to take the other half down too. We were guessing at least 200 years old.
Our tree, not so bad.
