Well the time has come to see the beautiful willow go. We both have grown up with willows so we know how messy and sticky they get. Darryl had said from the start that he'd be taking out that tree. Well it was the most beautiful willow(in the picture it doesn't look so beautiful, that is because Darryl had already cut off a lot of limbs) and the perfect shade tree for our weekly picnics so we never removed the tree-- until today. The tree probably would have been around a little longer too had it not become infested with bore. We tried and tried to kill them all but there are a million of the little worms in the tree and they just won't all die. So we bought another tree, planted it, and cut down the willow. The mountain ash we planted looks like it will be a super pretty tree. I just hope it fills out quickly so we can have some shade on our picnics next summer.
