So, I got home yesterday, and the tree trimmers were gone. They cut out a sh*t-ton of branches, mostly right in the middle of the trees, so it kind of looks like a narrow tornado came through.
Like this:
Hmpf.
(That's not my trees, btw. Just a VERY ACCURATE representation.)
They also bashed a big dent in the top of my mailbox and flattened the mailbox garden. I tried to fluff the black-eyed susans back up, but they're not having it. Hopefully they'll rebound.
Oh, and they left nine million branchlets all over the damn front yard. AND left a bunch of widowmaker branches hanging.
Sheesh. So basically, the utility company, to which I pay some of the highest energy costs in the country, did a job that would get a regular company fired.
On the plus side, the front yard gets a bunch more sun now. So ... yay?

Our trees look worse, I will try and get some pics. We are Tree City so there are alot of loopy/loppy trees. But here they are very strict on them cleaning up there messes. And they would have to replace the mailbox. Funny how different areas handle things.
We'll have a "worst tree" competition, fmcetc. :)
and frankly, I think the utility company SHOULD replace my mailbox. Sheesh.
This actually applies to the cat skeleton post:
