Changing landscape
A couple of weeks ago we got a notice from the city that they would be taking out one of our trees due to storm-related damage. We figured it would be one of the ones out front (as seen in this picture) - one of them looked, to our eyes, to fit the criterion of "half of the crown damaged" that the letter listed.
This morning when we left the house, there was a notice posted on the tree next to the driveway - "No Parking - Construction - Tree Removal". This tree had lost probably 3/4 of the branches on the street side, but was still fully branched on the other side. It's the tree on the right in this picture; the one in the center of the frame is coming down today, too.
I'm kinda sad about this - it was our biggest tree; who knows when they'll get around to replanting (and we can't - it's in the easement, so the city controls that kind of thing). On the other hand. we'll be able to seed some grass down there and when I get around to putting in a vegetable garden on that side of the driveway, it will get more light.
