There are people cutting down the massive Norway maple in my neighbor's yard right now, and while I'm not sorry to see that tree go -- Norway maples are an invasive species around here, and the thing clearly looked old and sick enough that I've been convinced for years it's going to fall on our house and kill us in our sleep -- I was also not pleased to hear a massive thump coming from the backyard a few minutes ago.
There are still several huge and very tall branches left to go, and if one of them totals my tomato plants, THERE WILL BE BLOOD.
ETA: Have I ever wondered what a chipper-shredder being run less than five feet away from me sounds like? No, I have not. And yet now I know, and will probably continue to know for the next half-hour or so.
