Thanks, VV. Given our ages, I think we'll leave it as is but I still may do more interior pruning so the structure can be seen more clearly.

Love your words, "...having the wisdom of years that you possess..." - what a day brightener! Thanks.

The problem was, obviously, that I allowed the Acer Negundo to grow. It should have been removed as soon as we spotted it. They are very weak limbed trees and for all we spent having limbs removed we could have had a nice tree that would provide some shade, fall color, etc.

This is how I was greeted the morning after the storm as I gasped looking out of the French doors.

I appreciate all the help and advice - thanks to all who posted.
