From this to that
everything in the above photo is GONE leaving us with what you see below.

| the sun that goes down directly to the west is now on our house and yard and yesterday it was 90 degrees on the corner of the house due to losing that tree. the temp was 86 |
From above to below and This 3000 lb Bobcat was fun to watch but it destroyed the entire side of the yard. the only good news I have is we were only without power for 3 hours. Story later.
we have nothing but black/dirt turning to sand to blow in the pool.
my heart is broken
The top of the tree night blooming cactus and the 15 feet tall orange hibiscus, see the reflection in the pool below and the pink hibiscus 6 feet tall. you might see them above is you click on photo
ALL vegetation is Gone, so is a lot of money. I have a few more pictures to share of the bobcat

it often feels a little like the end of a chapter... and I ponder about the time the tree or the plant was a little greenie and what times and people and things it saw... but we have to do what is needful even when it hurts...
It leaves me feeling strange to see the empty space.
Hello,
It is always sad to take down a tree. We could use more sunlight on and around our house. Sorry your yard/plants were destroyed and the pool getting dirty. Take care, have a great day!

That's a big hole to adjust to... I know it needed doing, but quite understand the sadness it brings. YAM xx
I understand your sadness at losing the tree. I would feel the same way. In many ways it’s akin to the loss of a family member. The scars inflicted by these back-to-back hurricanes are deep and will hurt for a long time. I hope that you are doing okay.
So sorry, losing trees, yard beauties is a big loss ... they give shade and protection to our homes, also some privacy within our neighborhoods. I've never forgotten the 'cane that took off the entire back half of our home (East coast of Florida) in 1995. A year of living with mess and boards and rebuilding. But in time, all that is over and life begins anew ... and even our little dog at the time could return to play in the yard! It will happen!
Sorry for the loss of your tree, no doubt you will miss it. I suppose you'll just have to keep reminding yourselves that it would have been worse to have it fall on your house (or your neighbour's)... ♥
I love a pine tree so tall and majestic; however, up here once their needles are covered in ice or snow they become very dangerous.
About 10 years ago we had a huge pine branch full of ice and snow drop from the very top ~about 50' to our driveway. It missed our car by about a 1'. It and its relatives were cut down lickety split.
Sending purrs that you are all having less stressful days

I'm sorry you lost your shade
That's very sad to lose so much outside, it all was such a part of your homestead.
