Trees, trees, trees. I've lost track of how many they have cut out of our yard this past week. I know there were at least 7, but if you throw in all the little ones here and there, it's probably over a dozen. And then there is the pruning! So, much pruning.
A hard winter and an Emerald Ash Borer infestation in a huge part of the US and Canada, has taken it's tole on our yard. I'm sitting here with the windows open on a gorgeous Spring (nearly Summer!) day, and my ears are being assaulted by the sound of chainsaws.
Glad we planted a couple of apple trees earlier this Spring, although the 2 dwarf trees will hardly make up for what we lost. And thank goodness, mama Robin decided to nest in the lilacs, and not one of the trees!
That is so sad that you lost so many trees. I just hate that. When we had our big drought here in Texas people lost so many. It was very sad. Hope your trees grow fast that you planted. One of my neighbors said that he puts charcoal in the bottom of the dug hole before he plants trees and they grow twice as big as others without that. Its proven too. His are so large and planted the same time as our neighbors. Crazy!!

I'm always sad to lose trees too. But if your landscape is healthier, then it had to be done.
