I never thought I'd feel relief to see a tree go, but there was a huge pine close to a neighbours fence that, at the time we lived there, gave me seasonal asthma (something to do with the resin), blocked out all the light, and started to lift our concrete and affect the brickwork and plumbing, and every day dropped vast amounts of needles. Luckily the neighbour agreed that it be removed.<br />I agree that trees speak to us. I never liked the spooky energy around a tree in a house we owned. My daughter, only very young at the time, said one night - that tree is evil. It wanted to own the whole front yard and let everything and everybody know it. It always seemed very threatening in the wind. The roaring sound was not comforting at all!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630249712356073565.post-58651143331386328752012-04-11T09:52:39.042-04:002012-04-11T09:52:39.042-04:00I am not laughing. But I can't stand to see so...I am not laughing. But I can't stand to see something dying a long prolonged death. I have planted 6 butterfly bushes and there will be a vegetable & herb garden and lots more plants and flowers. The neighbor is annoying, she had my garage door opener for 3 weeks after I moved in and never told me. I replaced it in the meantime so I could get in the garage without going in the house to open it from inside. Oh well. There will be lots of green over here, healthy green.Mary Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885430927886664672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630249712356073565.post-73480222693331472422012-04-10T23:39:46.261-04:002012-04-10T23:39:46.261-04:00Please do not laugh but I actually grieve when we ...Please do not laugh but I actually grieve when we lose a tree. Our Christmas tree we planted when the girls were small needs to come down also...they seem to have a blight. Plant a new tree asap!!! I am working in an arboretum right now so the trees are speaking to me!
