Mourning My Tree

Some gardner came by, per our home owner's request, to trim the best shade tree in our yard today. I think he did the worst job I have ever seen and butchered our poor tree.

AFTER (Taken April 08)

I literally cried while he was doing it. Let me rephrase that - I became hysterical while he was doing this. I asked him to stop but he didn't understand English very well and promised me it would grow back in two years. This reminds me of a really, really bad haircut. The only difference is a haircut grows back in a few months. This will take years, if the tree survives.

I am so sorry, Tree. I tried to stop him. **Sniff, sniff**
