Tree Death

Autumn is at times a depressing enough season for me as it is, mostly because it means we're edging way too close to winter, way too fast for my liking. Especially when it's wet and miserable that can get to me. To compound that, the neighbours are at it again. Those same neighbours that deprived PreZ and I of sleep most weekend mornings for 2 summers running last year and the year before.

So as I sit here at my computer, every few minutes I see a large chunk of tree sailing past and hitting the ground with a large thunk. The neighbours already got rid of a couple of trees back when they were 'landscaping' their yard during those two summers, and at the time they had already emasculated this particular tree to a degree, cutting off a lot of its lower side branches until all I could see of it from the window was a branchless trunk going up out of my view.

Right now the poor thing is about 12 feet tall >_<

I don't know what their problem with this tree was, or any of them. They're on the edge of the property, between this house and the neighbour's, they're not in the way or anything. Okay, from a more thorough glance out of the window, I guess this tree was too close to the terrace things they built in the side of the hill, but the other two weren't. Here's hoping they'll leave the one at the top of the hill near the street alone.

And so there goes a(nother) tree that was at least 50 or so years old. I'm just guessing it's age though, but as the trunk was at least 2 feet wide it would be a pretty decent guess I think.

I hate human beings sometimes.
