Tree Gone, Next Day!

Everything happened so fast!!



 Bill called the tree service and the next thing we knew (like a couple of hours later) they were out their with their equipment, a crew of five men.They were like machines and knew exactly what they were doing.
It is sort of sad to see it go I trimmed it up every year over the past 8 years.



I would have to trim at least twice a month to keep it looking beautiful and I had to rake up twigs and lots of leaves weekly into the month of December.
January February March were the only months their was no maintenance with the tree.    Bill and I although he isn't supposed to be on ladders would some times  have to clean out the gutters especially by the back door. Because when it thawed or rained it would flow over right out side the door and we would have a problem with ice on the deck in the winter and flooding rain during the rainy season. It wouldn't have mattered but with two dogs and their only way out to the yard we would not have to worry about all that.
 So as sorry as we are it was time to go we are to old to be climbing ladders over tree maintenance.


  From the house and deck it looked beautiful but from the back it looked terrible the tree trimmers were coming every year and whacking away at it, they didn't care, they pride their self in making a tree look ugly.
 They always said they would have to trim that much because they wouldn't be back for at least four years and they were always their the fallowing year with out fail.



Our next door neighbor always worried about the falling branches, although they never said anything until it was down, a couple of times branches did fall on their deck although they didn't cause any damage they were small enough.
I know it up set a lot of people, It up set me as well.
But we will move on to the next chapter in our life





Today we are going to work on fixing the area the best we can.
They already told us we wouldent be able to plant a tree to many roots underground.
 Hopefully we will love the area as much as the tree.


Thanks For Looking

  1. so sad, but I researched feng shui and it says "Don't plant a willow tree on your property or hold your marriage ceremony under one. Although graceful and lovely to look at, this tree is associated with sadness." Happy days now. xo

  2. OMG didn't know that! they are beautiful and graceful to look at from a distance. But a lot of maintenance when they are in your yard. Especially for some one like me who likes everything to look nice and well groomed. That's the way I am and I don't apologize for that.
