Trees Down

For over 100 years, three maple trees have edged the property of our home. They have shielded us from the sun and protected this home from the road. They all came down yesterday before they fell down due to disease spreading through them that has caused several branches to fall already. It is amazing how exposed we felt last night. It surprised us at how open the property feels. We will have to appraise the situation and figure out how to provide some privacy either with fencing, shrubbery or more trees. We will surely have to do something and although we discussed how we would feel, we are amazed that our reaction is so intense.

Also amazing is the fact that people will climb into these sick trees and risk their life and limb to cut them down.
