The day after ... A sad tree story.

This is the tree....

This is the tree that suffered damage from the ice storm... (see yesterdays photo)

This is the tree that I watched for like forever change with the seasons and saw beauty in all...

This is the tree that shaded my sun room in the heat and when it lost its leaves let the sun shine through to keep my sun room warm in the cold...

This is the tree I sat under in the summer drinking a refreshing cold glass of ice tea while reading my favorite book at the time...

This is the tree that held the beautiful sounds of my chimes doing their thing on a windy day...

This is the tree that I just found out yesterday that has to be taken completely down because of the expense of huge tree limps falling off each storm not to mention the fear of it falling onto our home...

This is the tree that has gotten old and tired...

This is the tree I am going to miss dearly...

I will continue to enjoy it for the little time it has left in my backyard...

I'm a little sad :( ... I know it's only a tree ... but it's my tree...and I loved it.
