Other times I am protective and provide shade (in a good way!) for others like the Elm tree. But most of the time I am like the Alaskan Spruce... scraggly and pathetic.

Although there are some beautiful trees down here, I still miss many of the tress back home. The weeping willow is one of them.

Since the neighbor does not maintain them, I had to hire someone to trim what is hanging over my yard. My insurance company said if the tree fell down, as did one of the other trees on his property, they would not cover any damage to my home since I knew there was a problem. The tree is half dead and I am just waiting to see it topple in a storm one day. I already saw the other 60 footer go down and then had to fight with the guy to remove it.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.com
