Trees

The property came with many, many trees of all kinds: spruce, blue spruce, crab apples, dutch elm, walnuts just to name a few.  The one that we really like is the dutch elm.... it is probably the oldest tree, don't know if older than the house...  But it has also been a source of worries, since it does not look really healthy and there was one branch especially that we thought was going to come down sooner or later.... Well, it got to be sooner!  Last Thursday we got some big storms in the morning, and we suddenly heard a loud noise: the big branch come down. Luckily, it crashed a patio chair and a bench, instead of putting a nice hole in the house...
