Tree Removal

Due to a particularly nasty recent storm, Deb's beautiful ash tree was uprooted and fell on our garage.  Dale and I loved that tree!  I'd photograph its leaves to document the changing seasons and would post the pictures on this very blog.  Dale and I enjoyed looking at it when sitting out in the backyard.  It will be sorely missed.

Deb scheduled the tree guy to come take down the tree for yesterday morning.  He showed up around 10 and began.  Although it's an insurance industry standard that the owners of the propert the tree falls on are responsible for clean up, Deb somehow felt she was responsible for the tree coming down on our garage. Before I could even act on it, Deb found a really good deal for the removal.  What she didn't tell me was the reason for the deal involved her helping the guy take the tree down!  While doing dishes I noticed that she was hauling off branches and such.  I ran out to tell her that I wished she would have told me the whole situation because then I could have made myself available to help.   She told me not to worry about it and then asked if I had a wheelbarrow they could borrow.  Oh Deb!!!
