Second wind

Late Sunday night, or early Monday morning, the mighty wind that’s been buffeting us around in recent days took down three threes in our woodlot with a single puff.

That may sound like bad news, but actually it was excellent news because 10 days ago a similar wind uprooted the same trees and left them hung up, quite precariously, in a fourth tree.

Taking down a leaner is always a scary proposition, which is why they’re called widow-makers. What we had here was a triple widow-maker - clearly visible from our kitchen window.

I eyed the situation from all angles and couldn’t see a safe way to bring them down. Yet, I knew at some point I would be tempted to give it a go - and might live to regret it.

But on Monday morning Sharon glanced out the window and proclaimed, “They’re down! The trees … they’re down!”

And there they were, docilely waiting to become firewood.

Why is "Widowmaker" supposed to be a cool, edgy name for an assassin? Do they only kill people who are married? Well there's more than one way to be a widowmaker, so I suggest a character that's refered to as a/called Widowmaker, but they just marry people and then fake their own death.

"A pretty widow-maker sitting in the doorway She's got a sinister vibe Forget your manners, baby, we can do it my way Now there's no need to confide"

A poem by Rudyard Kipling

Harp Song of the Dane Women

What is a woman that you forsake her, And the hearth-fire and the home-acre, To go with the old grey Widow-maker? She has no house to lay a guest in But one chill bed for all to rest in, That the pale suns and the stray bergs nest in. She has no strong white arms to fold you, But the ten-times-fingering weed to hold you Out on the rocks where the tide has rolled you. Yet, when the signs of summer thicken, And the ice breaks, and the birch-buds quicken, Yearly you turn from our side, and sicken– Sicken again for the shouts and the slaughters. You steal away to the lapping waters, And look at your ship in her winter-quarters. You forget our mirth, and talk at the tables, The kine in the shed and the horse in the stables To pitch her sides and go over her cables. Then you drive out where the storm-clouds swallow, And the sound of your oar-blades, falling hollow, Is all we have left through the months to follow. Ah, what is Woman that you forsake her, And the hearth-fire and the home-acre, To go with the old grey Widow-maker?

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)
