ONE tree ...

We have ONE huge tree left in the backyard. We had the tree guys leave piles of the trunk so we could use it for firewood. The backyard feels a little lonely now - but it will soon be filled in with a garage, cement, grass and an outdoor fireplace/pit.

Goodbye old tree ...

We had one of the trees in our backyard removed on Saturday morning. I'm guessing it was 70 years old ... We said goodbye and watched in amazement as the 'tree guys' gently cut it down.

They told us it was sick and dying - so that made it a little easier. Now we can move forward with the garage and backyard plans.
