My dental hygienist says that things usually come in threes. I imagine many people say that. I had a root canal on a molar and then surgery on an ear. I think the third thing is that a maple tree in the back yard began to come apart at the fork in the trunk. In a strong wind, such as we are likely to get on Friday, it would probably collapse into two big pieces. One of the pieces would either hit the house or fall in the driveway. People from a tree service should be here around noon to remove it. They will have to do some pruning on a hemlock tree to be able to get their equipment close enough.
I noticed the damage to the tree late on last Friday afternoon, and I’ve been a little tense for a few days with a tree that might collapse.
