R.I.P. Huge, Lovely, Dangerous Tree, that we loved and worried over at the same time. I sometimes tell people that there is only one thing that Parker and I ever argue over - The Huge Eucalyptus Tree* in our Front Yard.

Well today, we said a fond goodbye to all our fodder for the fracas, fray, fuss, hostility, match, melee, quarrel, riot, rivalry, round, row, ruckus, rumble, scrap, just to name those ones I highlighted, because you know that it's an issue, not!! Because it has become fodder for some other uses (pulp, paper and fiber board according to the web). Neighbors came and watched. Some got cookies.
Here is a little bit of what we watched.

I will miss the wonderful filtered light, the awesome shade. It's already hotter, it's already more open(not a good thing), but I will not worry if it storms tonight and the lightning rages.
* We planted it about 26 years ago and the Professional Tree people all seem to think it was a 50 year of tree. We know that it was over 100 feet tall, also according to the professional tree people.

that is quite a change.
and quite a stump!
your tree was a neighborhood monument.
i have to say my kitchen will miss the shade.
{kidding. kind of.}
it was fun to watch the extraction process.
we heard and saw plenty - even from one street over.
it was interesting to see the safe way they did the job.
