Wind Versus Trees

In that contest, Wind won. We have a very large ash tree in our front yard. Last week's severe windstorm while I was out of town knocked a number of branches down and broke one very large limb that is hanging on but must be cut down. The branches above the break are withering away. The first bid we got was breathtakingly high, but I'm afraid we're not going to find many for less, at least not from people who know what they're doing. So, we'll hire them and have them trim the tree and one large live oak tree on the south side of the house.

Our trees are not nearly as badly damaged as hundreds and hundreds of others we've seen all over the area in the past few days. I hate to see the damage, but what can you do? I'm not strong enough to capture the wind and keep it in check. I used to be, though. Well, maybe I'm lying to you.
