Dan learned Wednesday night at the volunteer fire department training that the tree was 75 years old. The growth rings were very widely spaced - a fast grower. It was there, though before the house was built.
Our neighbor's brother wanted her to have it cut down last year after a large limb came down in the driveway but she demurred. He persuaded her to have it cut this year again because of the fear of the damage to the house should another limb come off. Cutting it down after most of the leaves had fallen was easier than earlier in the leaf cycle.
Still a very sad demise for such a nice tree.

I guess it was its time considering the circumstances.
It’s always sad when we destroy nature because it’s inconvenient for us. Heads up - I will be away from my blog for the next two weeks.,
