End of an era

Posted by prayformojo (aka mayhem) Aug 11 '20, 06:45

My favorite picture of Abby ever was one I took - sort of by accident - of her peeking out from behind a tree in our back yard.

The tree has been dying for a few years, and I'm afraid that sooner or later during a storm the tree will be coming through our kitchen window. So we're having it removed today.

I took her out last night to more or less recreate the photo. She doesn't wear pigtails any more. We tried to get it just right but it didn't have those terrific curls.

That's sad. But, pigtails don't last and eventually you have to kick them out of the house, so... -- nm - Max Aug 11, 08:31
Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost to have the tree removed? We have 2 dead in our backyard and I'm contemplating the hit to my wallet -- nm - oblique Aug 11, 07:06 7
- We just had ours removed 2 weeks, but it was a huge water oak tree that was ~ 100 years old. - JaxSean Aug 11, 07:12 1

- This is from a general landscape guy, not a tree service. We're getting two done - prayformojo Aug 11, 07:09
- We took down a huge pine and a maple in our yard for ~1200, but that included stump grinding on the pine. -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 07:08 3

Awwwwww. -- nm - Judge Bane Aug 11, 06:57
That’s cute. We lost the tree that we took all of Emma’s first day of school pictures in front of a couple of years ago. It just wasn’t the same -- nm - spamlet Aug 11, 06:45
