The tree is Gone

We moved into our home many years ago. There were no trees or shurbs so we did our best to start the magic in the landscaping. We have enjoyed watching these trees grow and have them give us shade and privacy. I will miss the birds singing in the morning as the sun came up. I will miss watching the leaves turn colors and then seeing them falling on the ground. Seeing the wind blow the branches. Watching the buds come out in the spring and watching the new leaves start to pop open. The tree was getting to big so close to the house so it was for our safety to get it down. Saturday morning Jim had his friend Kenny Allred come over and they started the chain saw to get the job done. Hoping that the cable was going to keep it from coming on the house. I was in the house watching and I saw the tree sway a bit to close to the house and I almost got in a panic. I decided to not go out there but everything came to a sudden stop. the cable had broken and it was very close to be coming on the house. A neighbor had been across the street doing some digging in the ditch and we went and asked him to come and help pull on the tree. He agreed and they had one more cut and down it went. Thud was such a sad sound. All those years and it was over. I was pretty sad until my son Chad same over to help clean up the mess and he said that trees are like our lives we have to have trials to get our roots stronger. This tree had many nights of the wind blowing hard and it's roots were very strong. So it had a good life. Thank you tree for your memories with the Coombs family. And thank you Lord for not letting the tree fall on my home.
