The power company came today and chopped the center branch off the big dogwood that shades the house. I guess they thought it threatened the power lines on the corner.

It looks damn ugly, and they made a good mess doing it, too.

Not too sure that I like it - we'll definetely have lost shade for the summer, which is important to me. And the branch over the driveway looks like it's lost some support. :\

There's no way I can effectively water this tree - it's about 5 feet around. Very big. We've had drought two years running - we aren't even allowed to water the lawn, let alone trees. Right now it's in about 3 feet of snow, maybe four after last night's storm.
One day you’ll walk the world
and keep in mind
The heart you’ve been given
in winter time
And through the bitter cold,
with opened eyes
You’ll find the strength to fight
and stand upright
