Timber!

Towards the end of September we had one of our  black walnut trees cut down.  I felt sad about it because it's a beautiful tree and gives part of our yard nice shade on hot days....BUT every summer it covers everything in a nasty, sticky sap.  So sticky, it's hard to open the car doors after you park under the tree.  In addition to the sap, it drops rotten walnuts all over the yard and driveway - I don't know how many times I've slipped on a walnut while carrying in groceries.  So it was time to say goodbye to this tree!


Watching the action from the kitchen.



As soon as the tree came down Walter and Henry were climbing all over it!
The estimated age of the tree was 115-125 years.
