We had to let go of a couple of old friends today. The two giant evergreen trees next to our driveway were not in good shape – one was already completely dead, and the other was in the advanced stages of the same disease. As much as I knew the responsible thing to do was to have them taken down, and I knew that they were coming with the equipment to do it this morning, it was shocking just how fast they were gone. We left to run a few errands, saying goodbye to two tall trees, and a couple of hours later we came home to stumps.
Now there’s a patch of ground with grass seed scattered on it, where in a few weeks nobody will ever know trees existed.
And that makes me sad.
