farewell dear tree dear old friend









All that is left
Should a tree be mourned? I think so. There is a sadness that creeps and descends upon me from the loss of this magnificent living branched entity.In a few chainsaw cuts she was felled. Without ceremony.Without warning. Such is
the sacrifice for a field of corn. goodbye cows.Goodbye tree.

There is nothing to do but remember this lovely view..a nesting place at dusk for so many birds.Shade and sanctuary for creatures..It's blessed arms held high through all seasons A tree of grandeur and grace...Were we the only ones that noticed when it fell?

Yes, it absolutely is appropriate to grieve the loss of a tree. They are multi-generational, so very necessary, and add immensely to the quality of our lives and the ensuing memories.
