Weekend Report

Question: How do you get rid of a tree that you didn't want to get rid of ?

Answer: Have an out of control vehicle plow through your yard and mow it down. Yes that's right, that's what happened Friday.

Luckily no one was hurt (except my poor Dogwood Tree)

What happened was someone had a seizure while driving and hit the ditch coming into the neighborhood veering wide right, going through Lot #1 proceeding toward Lot #2, which at this point they hit the sidewalk of Lot #2 (fortunately for us) and continued on through Lot #3 (our house), now why I said fortunately for us is because if they had not hit the raised sidewalk causing them to veer left, they would have hit our house close to the front door.

But by veering left they just took out my Dogwood and proceeded through the next yard, and the next yard, (messing up freshly laid Sod) and finally coming to rest (on its side) after clipping a guide wire from a power pole and taking out another poor defenseless tree.

The driver was taken by Life Flight to the hospital and the State Trooper said they were OK but didn't remember anything.

In the mean time, my poor Dogwood lost its life...
It will be a sad day today.
