This morning, for the first time, I left my condo without passing the venerable old elm tree in the parkway out front.I knew it was coming down. We got notice over the holiday weekend that the village discovered Dutch Elm Disease and was removing it. I didn't think I cared. After all, it's not visible from my condo unit and the tree that amuses the cats and provides shade to my livingroom remains strong and healthy.
Only this morning, I did care. A lot. Turns out I will miss that mighty old tree, after all.
ohhhh, I know exactly what you mean! We had a beautiful old Ash in front of the house since my parents bought it in 1960, but it had to be cut down 2 years ago, as it had gotten VERY top heavy. I still miss the weeping willow that was in the backyard, too.
