I'd already pretty realized this before I did the post -- now Im afraid there'd be protesters and folks chaining themselves to the elm. :-)<br /><br />With 100 + acres, most in woods, cutting down a tree doesn't seem like such a big deal -- in fact, we mostly heat with wood from the place.<br /><br />But this one IS pretty special.

I'd thought of that myself... and I have a real feeling we won't be cutting this tree. Maybe some of those to its right could go...

We have many trees blocking the view of the mountains directly west of us, some that are not on our property so they won't be coming down. I suppose it's one of the reasons I love winter so much...no leaves blocking my view!Lisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431245561712781037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-23731466199766313712013-11-03T08:25:08.267-05:002013-11-03T08:25:08.267-05:00Chuckles.Chuckles.Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-52857567555077584622013-11-03T08:04:44.891-05:002013-11-03T08:04:44.891-05:00Crumbs-once again
