Good bye Tree

Sadly, the Sycamore tree has to go. The roots have taken over our storm drains and natures force is beginning to interfere with the foundations of our house. So the leaves that draped, shading our front bay-window, are no more. I was tempted to put a small sign up on our gate to let the locals know we had to do it, that we didn't want to. (Husband talked me out of that idea.) But we shall be planting another tree further away from the house someday, I would love one with a blossom, we'll see. Here are some pics of it's last day, it's new role is to burn brightly and heat us in winter, good thing.

Our new view or the lamp post!
