THAT would have been from Cottonwood trees and also VERY annoying. Those along with the "helicopter" seeds (can't recall the name of the tree) and pollen too. I have pollen allergies, which as I'm aging seems to bring on some asthma type issues. As for cutting trees....I guess none of us would have houses or would be living in communities if trees hadn't been cut down. I think it was stated that new trees would be planted in place of these so I don't see an issue with it...other than the ones to come down are pretty old.
