Wind in the Willow

Ever since we moved into our home we knew that the willow tree in our backyard was dying. Each year fewer leaves would return and an arboriculturist told us it had about 3-5 years of life left. That was almost three years ago. So after getting bids that we couldn't afford, we finally got a bid that was workable. So the willow is gone and the yard feels bare, but we have plenty of other trees to keep us happy.

It looks like a spooky old tree

The willow in mid fall
The mighty has fallen

The empty space
