Our Beloved Tree

These pictures were taken from our neighbor two houses over. The the limb was enormous.





These pics were supposed to be on the last post. I don't expect any one to care too much about this tree saga, but I wanted it documented for our memories. It was such a big tree and provided so much shade and love. It was also special because a few years ago we got a photo in the mail from a relative of a woman that lived in our home about 100 years ago and we could see the tree when it was a baby. It was really hard to see it go and we did everything we could to save it. We had it trimmed regularly and had two of the largest parts cabled together to make it safer, but in the end, it had lived its life and it was time to be removed.



It was quite a mess.

hmm. You should post a picture of your house now and 100 years ago. That would be neat.

but tim, that would require me to know how to scan and stuff. i'm not (swallow) that good at those kinds of things!

Do I need to get my Flux capacitor and go back in time and teach you how to do it while you were in Utah, so you can go home and do it?

You could always do it the ghetto way and take a picture of your picture.
