Timber!

Here's what went down yesterday. One of the residents nearby complained about tall trees on the hill that they feel were unsafe which could possibly fall on their house if ever there were strong winds. The JKR sent a couple of contractors and several other people to cut the trees down from the area. Part of that area was also behind my house.

I had a feeling that something really dumb was going to happen.

It didn't take long before my fears were realized. The panicked yells along with the crashing sound of branches confirmed that a tree had just fallen into my garden. Every plant within the area had been crushed and it took them a good while to think of how they were going to remove the tree.

The workers then came in with a plan to cut the huge tree into smaller pieces to be carried away on large trucks. It took them a little more than an hour to complete the removal and rounded off a very peculiar Saturday afternoon.
