Daily Disaster

Yesterday when I came home, the tree trimmers had trimmed the neighbor's tree, AND DRAGGED ALL OF THE LIMBS ACROSS OUR YARD FROM BACK TO FRONT TO A STACK IN OUR YARD! It was a big tree, and granted some of the limbs were on our side of the fence, but the stack in our front yard looks awful.

So this morning, the tree trimmers were back. This time, a guy in the neighbor's yard was handing the limbs off to a guy in our yard, who was, you guessed it, dragging the limbs all the way from the back yard to the front. The stack now runs the length of the whole front curb.

I was already thinking the whole thing was pretty obnoxious, considering none of our trees needed trimmed, when I came around the corner of the house to the back yard. I would have taken a picture, except the lens on my camera wouldn't quite take in the picture that greeted me.

Apparently, after trimming the tree in the yard behind us, they tackled the one in the yard beside us. I guess their plan for this tree might have been similar to the plan for the other one, except it included cutting a major branch of the tree, about two feet in diameter. Judging from the nice smooth cut, things were going according to plan. Judging from the pile of debris embedded in what used to be a 14-foot snap set pool, the plan was immediately abandoned.

Whether or not they return to clean up without a few threats remains to be seen.
