Trees are The Enemy. Just sayin’

We are those people who bought an old house overgrown with junk trees and unkept shrubs. The previous owners, lovely people, kinda liked the wildness and they were bird people. But they only lived there for a year, the overgrowth was rampant well before they bought it.

DH has been felling trees there for a year. Literally he cuts down 20-30+ foot trees, chops them up, stacks the wood, and burns out the stumps. Wild vines were obscuring the trees, so all of that had to go too. There are about 10 more trees left in the once-junk tree forest and I want to hire a tree company to drop the biggest ones.

But all of that is scrubby junk trees. If our neighbors do not like it, too bad.

But umm, we are going to have to take down one tree in the front of this house, a nice old shade tree. It will go down because we will build a garage and it is in the way. For that, people may judge us harshly and rightly so.
