Given the anticipated heavy winds today, we thought it would be appropriate to share this seen on Tremont Drive, just south of Sylvan Road. One of the homes was having trees removed by DC Tree Service. Their motto is "We will go out on a limb for you." Some trees need to come down, especially if an arborist determines that there is decay inside. However, it is always sad to lose a mature tree, because we will never see anything mature in its place in our lifetime. This part of town, between College Park, Lindley Park, and Sunset Hills, is known for their tree lined streets. Hopefully, something will be planted that will eventually add to the canopy.
What an interesting week it has been. It started with Valentine's Day. There was a full moon. Today, there is a two-hour delay at the schools given the potential damage and downed power lines from the winds. Plus, some school students are out waiting for busses very early in the morning. It is best to keep them safe if there are high winds. As we are writing this post, we notice there don't appear to be any above ground wires on Tremont. We're wondering how it is that they have buried lines and some neighborhoods to not.
Have a great weekend and may you, your friends and loved ones, and your home be safe. If you need a tree removed, branches removed or some firewood, DC Tree seems to be a great option. (See their website, HERE).
A good shot. We had some winds last night during a snowstorm.
