This was our dying white pine…
We have waited an entire year for it to recover, but it kept deteriorating. With the right side completely dead, during days of storm we kept cringing in our seats hoping it wouldn’t come tumbling down on the house. Finally, we decided we had enough excitement and decided to go the route of euthanasia… 
It hurt to do this, but it had to be done… and now we were left with a bunch of pellets… 
While it opened up a lot of space in the yard, it also exposed our house to more sun. We’ll need to plant some tall-growing trees near the fence… just what we need, more yard work!
I thought you were going to say that was you up on top of that tree 🙂
Hey, you should use those woods and make a furniture out of it… like Extreme makeover. Or you can put up a sign “for sale”. 🙂
