Still no sound of chain saws around here. I know the tree guys are slammed with business. The 1,500 square mile metro area has damage to 90% of the trees. Our house has had as many 9 trees. Three are already gone forever and several have been replaced with different trees. Two trees were removed and turned into a flower garden. The big pear tree in the back was next to the koi pond and dropped too much debris into the koi pond so it was not replaced at all, just different flowers that like sun.

I am betting it will be after the first of the year before the tree debris is hauled off by the city. We are careful to keep the tree limbs away from our brick mailbox, and out of the street, and off the sidewalk. The neighbors across the street is almost funny how wrong they are doing it. He is an attorney for the state''s Attorney General's office. He is a smart man. They had tree limbs piled right up against the brick mailbox. Easy to damage with the big claw used to pick up the limbs. He has three bags of leaves, and the city will only pick up limbs, no bags. And he piled some around the fire hydrant, another no no. Oh well, maybe lawyers ain't so smart after all.
