The top half of our neighbor's tall pine tree snapped over in the big windstorm about a month ago. And this past weekend, the crew she hired made it over to take care of it.
It took all day Saturday and still more time Monday. I pretty much watched their progress for hours.
First they backed this big crane into our driveway
Then it went up and the branches started coming down.
It was fun to watch the work, and we were grateful for their expertise that no branches or the machine hit our roof.
But then seeing that big empty sky made me cry. And we still can't get used to the bright sunshine coming into our kitchen in the afternoons now. Even our neighbors on the other side feel the loss of the view and the green-filtered light that would go through THEIR kitchen window. It is so hot and sunny in our driveway now.
But I guess winter will be better now. And we don't have to sweep up any more pine needles and pine cones. And we have a view of the sunset.
