I remember a very old maple tree at my wife's childhood home in Minnesota ... it was a landmark and then, in a fashion similar to yours, had to be cut down. It always felt like something was missing when we went back to visit.<br /><br />No billboards in Maine? None?

Good thing we did, because a tornado came along in '96, and the tree would have destroyed our house had it still been standing. Still...my regrets for your tree!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187924454780490386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-53711876110115589682011-11-15T15:12:46.819-05:002011-11-15T15:12:46.819-05:00P.

They were both so frail that it was inevitable that they would come down on the house. I am pleased to report that their successors are now doing well, even though the recent storm gave both an unwanted pruning.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-64898807523737561172011-11-15T09:13:01.219-05:002011-11-15T09:13:01.219-05:00oh, this always makes me sad. i know you will mis...oh, this always makes me sad. i know you will miss it...TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-36939018318255294302011-11-15T08:18:33.044-05:002011-11-15T08:18:33.044-05:00I understand your loss.
