The Douglas Fir

 I think that I shall never see
   A poem lively as a tree.

   


We used to have two Douglas Fir trees in front of our house.  One of the trees had a double trunk that started about ten feet from the base of the tree.  Two weeks ago we had a serious wind storm that knocked our power out for well over a day.

Cyn decided that the tree had to go because it was just too unstable, so these guys came with a really big crane (I mean really big) and removed the tree in about 45 minutes.  I could have done it faster--and for less money too but she said no.
