This is how our beloved aspen tree looked on Sunday. Majestic, tall, beautifully green, shady. It's been part of the family for the eight years we've been here. It's been a good friend during the hot days of summer. Then, out of nowhere a chainsaw massacre!!
The only thing left of this once gorgeous tree is a hole where it once stood, and a pile of fire wood
waiting to be burned into ashes.
In reality, this was a planned execution. Done for the betterment of mankind and the Breinholt family. This once beautiful tree gave it's life to make way for a much improved backyard. No more messy cleanups, and growing out-of-control branches to worry about. In it's place are three young, maintenance-free flowering pear trees. In due time, they too will provide much needed relief from the sun on a hot summer afternoon!

The back yard feels so much bigger. It is nice to have it gone. Not to mention a lot less leaf raking
