This post inspired by Ragtag Daily Prompt: Lumber
Five years ago this month, our two prized birch tree clumps had to be taken down from the front yard. They were almost 30 years old…but getting too large to be safe. Especially during high winds. Or bending with the weight of ice and snow in the winter. Branches dying off one by one.
It was time.
We hired a local tree service, who arrived one morning to remove the trees.
It took a while, but down they went.
The last survivor now sits in the living room of our new home.
