But in a recent issue, we found ourselves with no fewer than three articles focusing on trees (and four photos of trees, to boot). <\/p>\n<p>A couple of weeks ago, lightning struck one of the beloved willow oaks on the Weaver Street lawn and readers informed us of the damage within a few hours. We sent a photographer out there a few days later, and he found lawn-regular Bruce Thomas adorning the tree\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wound with bright flowers. Other readers asked us about the tree\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s prognosis, and still others sent in photos they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d taken.<br \/>\nDays later, a storm struck Carrboro and Chapel Hill, and within a matter of minutes trees were down around town, taking out power lines, roofs and cars as they fell. The storm is mostly cleaned up now, but a few ragged stumps and branches are still visible. <\/p>\n<p>This is all to say that trees have had a pretty rough couple of weeks around here, so forgive us if we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re giving them a lot of play. It seems like they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re pretty important to y\u00e2\u20ac\u2122all, right?<br \/>\n<em>\u00e2\u20ac\u201cSusan Dickson<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have noticed that we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had a lot of trees in the paper lately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[319],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6032"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6032\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6035,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6032\/revisions\/6035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
