Comments on: Bye Bye, Tree http://blog.katydidknits.com/2008/09/21/bye-bye-tree/ In theory, it's all about the fiber - knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning - but really, it's all about my life.

You might consider a call to City Hall to see if there's some sort of protection order on it, just out of curiosity. That being said, willows are WRETCHED trees, and I cannot tell you how much I hate them and what they do to drainage systems. They're more opportunistic than poison ivy or honeysuckle.

I guess if it probably had to go anyway, its good the electric company is going to pay for it. Have fun coming up with a new look for your yard, gotta make sure you enjoy your view from the hot tub.

Too bad there isn't a cheap way to bury lines underground. You should see the trees in my parents' neighborhood - very, very weird shapes due to the company sawing of offending branches. That sucks.

We had to have a big tree taken out of our yard a few years ago, too--a huuuuuge sycamore. But the power company took ours down, too. I was home when they did it. They made me come out of the house just in case, and it made such a jagnormous body-thudding jaw rattling noise when it came down! The cats were freaked for days. But then I took some of the branches and incorporated them into my garden. So we still have some of that tree around. Maybe you can save some bits? Or try to start a new tree from one of the small branches? Aw, that’s very sad. We had to have a big tree taken out of our yard a few years ago, too–a huuuuuge sycamore.
