Our tree is gone!

The tree in our front yard has been causing us a lot of worry lately. Every time we have a storm or a windy day, we fear it will damage our house. We called Reynolds and Sons Tree service and Landscapers to remove the tree. They came at 1:30 today and were done by 2:30. What an amazing spectacle! I watched as this 30 year old climebed that tree like a monkey. He knew just where to cut and how and where the limbs would fall. Then his Dad and the other helper would drag the limbs of the tree to the chipper.

The house looks so different without the tree. Already we miss it. This Spring we will plant a new tree a little further from the house. Maybe a dogwood, or a weeping cherry tree. I'm posting some before and after pics.
