sad to see it go

We finally took down the big sugar maple that was right next to the house since it had a big hole in it and we knew that someday it would probably fall over or least of all a big branch could crash into the kitchen. After it came down we could see that it was hollow all the way to the base and it was only going to get worse. And yesterday when the little microburst came through I was so happy it was already down.

We have a new tree picked out a nursery up the road that might get planted as soon as this week. The new tree won’t be able to shade the house yet, but at least it won’t look so blank and bare. The old one had a good run and until it becomes firewood it is finding a use as a play area.
