Lumbering along
January 11, 2021I awoke this morning to the sound of chainsaws and wood chippers. They were taking down the venerable silver maple in a neighbor’s back yard. The skill and delicacy with which the crane operator fiddled the large branches from between two houses and out into the street was impressive.
I found it interesting that, as I drank my coffee while reading the blogs and listening to the work going on next door, I came across this film that depicted logging operations in Maine from the last century. I took a peek at it and wound up watching the whole thing. Tim Sample narrated – ayuh.

So sad about the trees 🙁 I felt the same when a nearby an elderly pine that home for birds and animals was sawed down. The neighbor told us it was dangerous. But still missed the wildlife refuge that it was.
Yes – and these are big, old trees. Taking them down leaves a big hole in the sky. I am planting trees (and saving) trees in my yard.
