This is our tree...
It has been here since the house was built in 1950.
It is beautiful.
It has been through a lot. We think it was struck by lighting at some point because it is only half a tree, it has been ripped in two. It has survived our kids, especially Cici swinging from it's limbs. She has spent lots of time pretending with this tree.
But now it is gone. They took it down.
It was necessary, the power lines were in danger, our septic system can now be safe from roots, but there is a sadness.
Cici especially is sad. She almost cried when she saw it. It was like loosing a friend for her. She kept a piece of the trunk that was on the ground, wrote the date on it and is going to paint the other side.
Bye Tree.
Ah, that is really sad, necessary, but sad... Yes, I've seen Gracie all over that tree and thought she would fall out of it sometimes. Your house will look bare without it there... Your kids were the last generation to play in it. Nana
