Trees in the Breeze 2

We have had an old gnarly willow in the front yard as long as we have lived here. With every year the tree has become more and more dilapidated. It was starting to look like we might need to put it out of its misery, when Mother Nature decided to step in.

One big windstorm later...

I was pretty impressed with the entire situation. I had recently gotten a few bids to get the tree cut down, and they were all upwards of $600, so I decided I would wait a little bit longer before taking care of it. Then one day, while I was reading a book, I heard a loud "whoomp". I look outside and there's the willow, cut down for me for free! It fell perfectly. It didn't hit any cars, didn't hit the driveway, and didn't hit the street. 

The icing on the cake came the next day when a guy driving down our street knocked on the door and asked if he could remove the tree for us if we would give him the wood. Of course!!

 

Win, win!
