Hickory

I came home to learn that the tree guy dropped my neighbor's hickory between my young persimmons.  GGGGrrrrr!  I couldn't believe it!  I told him months ago I cared about those trees I didn't want it going that direction.  And there it was.  Set neatly in the three to four feet that separates them.  Some limbs were ripped off.  If he could've put it there, he could've put it anywhere!  So I was determined to be angry everytime I looked at it from here on out!  What a jerk!  He DID that to show me it could be done.  Grrr!

Then I learned that it split while he was cutting it.  The tree broke, left a 15 foot spike, twisted, and dropped that direction.  Not what he was planning.  For a minute he was afraid that it fell on his helper.  Luckily, no one was hurt.  Even the persimmons will shake it off in the years to come, I reckon.  Suddenly, the placement was looking more miraculous.  Wow.  Right between my persimmons!
