Maybe it was malicious neighbors or a mistake we will never know. But at about 9 in the morning there was a noise outside my house. My husband and I didn't think anything of it because work on the power poles, street lights and electrical on my street has been an ongoing process. My husband stepped out to find that a tree removal crew have nearly finished taking down our spruce. It was 150 years old and in need a grooming. It isn't great loss because we would have eventually had to remove it because of its age. But my prayer is that we don't get charged a large fee because of someone else's mistake. The crew was very sorry this happened without our permission.
