TIMBER!!!

Any trees in the local area must be swearing our name. In the time Matt and I have been together, I think we have had something to do with the elimination of at least 4trees. This time we said goodbye to a huge Cedar tree in our backyard. It was starting to envelope the other trees around it and was just taking over the corner of our yard. So, being proactive for the future landscape of our yard we had to take it out. Matt's cousin (an awesome arborist if anyone needs a name) came and took it down in less than 3 hours. It was something to watch. I have to admit I felt a huge twinge of guilt when the big girl fell and at least 2 birds went flying out, losing their beloved home. Thank goodness PITA or GREENEARTH or some other earth loving coop didn't witness the event.





So, now Matt and I have a huge gaping brown hole in the landscape of our yard. I think it will recover with a few added bushes and a new tree. I just am a person of instant gratification (shocker, I know) so I kind of want it better NOW! Maybe, this will be a good lesson in patience for me and a little payback for Mother Nature.
Yikes!
