stubborn rebel sheep!
The woodpecker was uptone, in action, so he couldn't possibly be destructive to the base, right? Or the ants and other insect critters who were so busy eating it from the bottom up. Anyway, wrist needs a break so no more typing today after this. Does that mean I'm downtone or PTS to big, gorgeous, stunning woodpeckers?
I don't think you either are PTS or downtone..but you should be given a handling to spot why and how you pulled it in...
The tree, unfortunately, is in a degraded state
Actually, it was a remarkable challenge and experience. When I finally found a way to get high enough with the equipment I have and no longer as flexible, lightweight or young as years past, it felt great. The frustration of physical and equipment limitations dissipated and I looked out from the treetop to sunny, panoramic hillside views and no longer felt afraid I'd fall or intimidated. I saw and accepted the entire scenario, including my human limitations.
There is no emotion to describe how I feel, I never felt like this before. It's an integrated love, acceptance and understanding of self, flaws and all, exactly as I am - the overcoming of some sort of life crisis. Just wanted to share that before taking a little break from typing.
I'll chat again with y'all in a few days. Bye for now.
Is this your tree ???
When wood pecker do such a jod to a tree..it's because the tree is very ill (bugs infested though)
So yes..the woodpecker did alert you the tree was going to be a hazard for the house and wires.
(hopefuly you are very prudent Sheila..those jobs nears electric wired must be done by professionals though...take care. We know you can make things go right..but it's hazardous around there cutting trees )
Actually I would say (according to my favorite kids tone scale)
that both of you (woddpecker and you) are very determined and resolute.
Good luck and good recovery (we are not young chicks anymore..but still trying though )
