Today we are losing a friend.
This baby ...
has been with us since we moved into the house in 1980. She has weathered wind and rain and snow (yes even snow in AZ).
But sometime last year she bit the big one and lost all her leaves and died. So she must come down before she falls on her own and takes the house with her.
Here they have cut off most of the branches. The dogs are freaking over the chain saw noise.
Here they are cutting the bottom and Hubby is on one line pulling to make sure it doesn't hit the concrete patio.
BOOM! She is down.
Bye old friend. I won't miss your mess.
1983!
1983!
1983!
Not 1980. :-p
I stand corrected. :)

Hi, just wanted to say thank you for the birthday wishes from before. :)
It was weird, I was reading you're "about" page and noticed you're dog is also 16 years old! We had to put our gorgeous little fox terrier to sleep this afternoon which is why it caught my eye....
:(
Really sad when they become so much a part of your life.
