If a tree falls in your backyard....

....does it make a sound?
Apparently not. I was in the kitchen washing dishes, no more than 20 feet away, and I didn't hear a thing.
It wasn't actually the entire tree, but it was a 40 ft branch and it nearly fell on our house!
Unfortunately, this one central branch falling was enough to through off the "balance" of the tree. Meaning we are at great risk for other branches falling directly onto our house....not good. We talked to an arborist (aka tree doctor) and were informed that the ENTIRE tree will have to come down. I am actually very upset about the situation.
Our poor lopsided tree will be coming down shortly. But we will be planting TWO new trees to replace it :)

Losing a full grown shade tree is aweful! But now you can plant whatever trees you want there. Fruit trees, trees that will grow super huge, trees that blossom really pretty, whatever! So that's cool.
