TIMBER!!!!

Twenty four years ago we moved to St. Johns and into this house. That summer we planted 3 globe willows. I love those trees because they are very full and grow fast. The kids have climbed the trees, slept under them, had picnics under them and enjoyed their shade. Over the years the trees began to die. I think a bug got into them. Finally we decided that they had to go. It was a very sad day for us.

Gary takes the saw and begins taking the trees down. I wanted to stand and cry for the loss of them.
Timber!!

Here it goes. No turning back now. It is done.

The yard looks so plain and lonely. We haven't decided what to do to replace them. It will take a while for the shock of it to settle in. Hopefully we can work on the yard this summer and really make it a beautiful yard.
