So, at some point this tree didn't make it. It wasn't down when Jason left for work early in the morning, so who knows when it fell. We have known for awhile that this tree was "sick" with bores and we've tried to spray it to get rid of them but apparently they weakened the tree enough that the wind took it down. So, we spent awhile today cutting it down and hauling it down to the mulching place in town. Too bad hauling so much down doesn't get you free mulch. :) I'm kinda sad to lose this tree...I really liked it. I tried to convince Jason to just cut down the part that had fallen and leave the rest, but we could tell it was sick and when we cut it down found out that it really was. Those insects had really done a number on it and before long it probably would have died anyway. So now we have to get rid of the stump somehow and then maybe I can plant some pretty flowers in there! That'd be nice! I was too busy helping to take pics as we cut it down. But when Jason was cutting it he had me help push it over so it fell the right way and I just couldn't resist yelling TIMBER! It was so fun. I know, I'm a nerd. Anyway it was hard work and so I convinced Jason to take us all out to WINGERS for dinner because I was craving their creamy amazing sauce--that stuff is the BEST ever!! I would go there just for that and nothing else. In fact if they sold the stuff I'd buy just that! It was a good day.
