I used to have 2 30 foot tall spruce trees and half dozen or so Birch trees but cut them down. The Birches were too close to the house and the spruce trees were dying..

We removed the oak and pear that were in the back yard this Spring. the pear was too close to the house and the oak was leaning towards the house.

I enjoy cutting down trees, especially the real tall ones that shake the ground when they fall..

We went to the orchard today. Met two of Patty's sisters and dad there. Kyle wasn't here to break the wallet. He will be pissed. Saw a neighbor there and their daughter was already into his wallet for $100.
