Farewell Mighty Maple Tree!!!!!!



This is what remains of

the mighty maple tree

with the storm window frame

in it.

If you have ever been to our

home especially when we first

bought it it was one on the

points of interest when getting

the tour. The storm window frame

made it look like something out

of the wizard of oz. No one remembers

how it got there or when but it was

there none the less. The tree slowly

started to die piece by piece over the

9 years we have been here. The storm

window frame rotted away around year #6.

We even had people ask where it went..

The tree was finally cut down last spring

by the state road crews to make way for the

widening of the road. I tried to count the

rings and would have to say that the tree was

well over 100 years old.It is sad to see it go

but it will be recycled into fire wood and used to

warm our home.
