Yikes! Have you noticed the multiple crews of tree-trimming trucks working furiously around Lake Highlands? Readying for icy weather, I’m sure. None of us wants to lose our electricity in the cold because icy branches took out power lines, but their work reminds me of that Johnny Depp movie "Sweeney Todd." Harshly trimmed branches have that stubby porcupine look, except they are uneven around the tree. Neighbors have complained that they returned home to trees chopped in a rush instead of lovingly groomed. Home buyers value our established neighborhood with its wonderful trees and shaded lanes. I hate to see that value disappearing into the mulching machine.
