Good Bye old Trees


















You can see the little spots on the tree where the sap has come out trying to heal itself.










Recently we sadly learned that the big trees in front of our house have contracted the Pine Beetle disease. The Beetles lay little larvae eggs which then hatch and burrow into the trunk of the tree killing it. So all three must be cut down. I took a few cute pic of Kadence playing outside with his little friend Colton around the trees as a goodbye photo shoot. I can remember growing up with those trees so it is kinda sad.

Thanks for taking these last pictures of the tree landscaping....and a special thanks to Dad and each of you kids who diligently helped your mom to make it look nice. I know it took lots of work and we have enjoyed it for many years together. Now we will have to start over:) so when I get back I hope we have lots of volunteers to make it look nice again. It is a good thing trees can be replanted:)
Love you all! Mom
