Our Truffula Tree

When we bought our home, we had one tree in our yard...one. 

 

Four bushes, one tree.

 

And for whatever reason or reasons we hated it. 

 

So we decided to cut it down post haste.

 

I thought I took a pre-picture of it but this is the best I have...robbed from Zillow.

See it there on the right?  The big ol' pine.

It was kind of ginormicus. 

 

Here is our one family picture by the tree.  Boy, we all look so happy! ;)

 

 

On the day we made the sideway I decided to "help" Wes cut down the pine by cutting off all of the branches. 

 

Really I just wanted an excuse to climb a tree again.

 

Can I say it wasn't as much fun as when I was a kid but it was still fun. :)

 

 The next three pictures are "me in the tree" pictures.

 

Where's Brandy?  (Almost as fun as where's Waldo.)

 

 

Our Truffula Tree!

 Tell me you love it because we plan on keeping it like this FOREVER!



Just kidding. Wes was so embarrassed he made plans with Larry to cut it down the next available day. But it did stand proud all Easter Sunday! :)

Our bare front yard.

Don't worry we have plans to plant a new tree there...just one that actually produces something other than sap.
