See, the Lord, the LORD Almighty,
will lop off the boughs with great power.
The lofty trees will be felled,
the tall ones will be brought low.
Isaiah 10:33
And today the lofty tree at our house was felled, too. This was the tree that suffered so much damage back during our big June storm, and that once broken, was shown to be rotten to the core. The city marked it to come down with a big orange X, and today, a crew from Kansas showed up to take it down, one piece at a time.
It was kind of sad, how quickly that big ol' tree came down, in really just 30 or so minutes, considering the decades it took to grow. But, it was fun to watch. We called our neighborhood buddies and gathered a crowd to watch. The bucket operator offered rides for $5, but there were no takers.
I'll miss the tree, but I won't miss having one less tree to worry about in the next severe storm!
