Timing is everything, and today it was perfect
Especially if trees are removed in a school playground area

Today, I had an opportunity to take a walk as the weather was sunny and even though it was in the high 30’s it felt much warmer with the direct sunlight. As I walked down towards the Congregational Church I noticed a couple of Henderson’s Tree Service trucks in the parking lot of the Marion Cross School. 2 workers were busy removing some nuisance trees from a neighboring property.

Look’s like he is taking the elevator to the first level.
I stopped and asked if it would be OK to take a few photos for my “about Norwich” newsletter. They said it was fine and also told me of a big Maple they just took down over by the Children’s playground area. I thought to myself how nice it was that this tree work was done when school was not in session. It makes good safety sense and also is a lot easier to work in an area when it is quiet time. Next week school is in session and it would have been more difficult to get the job done.

A nice quiet time makes all the difference in the world.
