I say "before" because now, there's an "After".
The younger Ash coming down. Right on the neighbor who had be complaining that it was shedding too many leaves in her rain gutters. This is the tree that was butchered so bad by a man who claimed to be an expert tree trimmer, last fall. The neighbor wanted more branches trimmed and as they were, the tree just looked so pitiful... I cried and told them to cut it all the way down.
Y'all, really. I cried. Poor tree.
Right to the right of the green ladder, there HAD been an old Ash tree. It had several dead branches, and every season the number of dead BIG branches had increased. It was time. It had been the only tree I was afraid of during hurricane IKE.
Another look at the take down.
Things are being cleaned up, slowly, as I seem to have a hard time even looking into the side yard where the young Ash used to be.
I keep telling myself that there are upsides to a suddenly sunnier side yard. I can grow more vegetables. I can grow some fruit trees. The Confederate Jasmine (see the above picture) will be happier and bloom more and earlier.
It's going to take me a while to process the change. Sigh. Anyone know where I can get a couple of Paw paw trees?
