A big tree fell on the power line down by the road along the driveway. Cloverland came right out and took that tree off the line. I asked the guys to take down some dead trees by the house, line and service entrance. They used their bucket to push the trees in the direction they wanted it to land. They helped out by taking a few trees down in my driveway too.
The big tall trees that have all the dead branches just hanging up there......they call these trees widowmakers.
Looking in the urban dictionary there was a bunch of definitions for widowmakers.

Logging term,most in Pacific Northwest
and Redwood country.
A large limb or broken tree-top that falls while the tree is being felled
or a limb that is bent,then breaks off flying back towards logger.
On Wednesday Loren Deal came over and helped me take down a bunch more trees. We cleared out many dead tress around the house. He was a big help. I still have a bunch of wood to clear up and stack from the ground.
