The tree people were out yesterday to remove the problematic tree. It took them the majority of the day. Gendr was home overseeing the work and I was at work for a staff meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While I feel like they did a good job and were quick to get us in when we made the decision, that does not mean that I do not have complex feelings around it. While the tree was dangerous, it did add a certain level of whimsy to the yard that now obviously lacking. The process also further destroyed parts of the garden that I have been working hard to put together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was not any of the food plants, though they are still recovering from the branch that landed on them. It was the native flower section. I am hopeful that they are not completely killed and that they will probably come back up next year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was quite a shock when I got hoe and saw it. Got a bit teary eyed. Circumstances are fighting everything that I am attempting to do. It is hard to not feel like just giving up and no longer bothering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have been trying to re-frame it in my mind. It has given me a lot of real estate to use for more garden ideas. It substantially increased the amount of sun that makes it to the ground in the yard as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do think I am going to take a break from any further garden stuff for the year. I need to take a step back to figure out what I want to do with the space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
