Hence my garden is very overgrown!<BR/>I can't imagine if the tree had to come down!<BR/>Go out and grab yourself some leaves to dry, (the logs would probably smell nice too).Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556403160595972518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-18969966208081219462009-01-21T13:42:00.000+01:002009-01-21T13:42:00.000+01:00It was painful to read your post.

I was horrified one morning to see a nearby lot with all the trees cut except for one huge oak. I went home to get my camera thinking they were going to spare the oak...by the time I got back, it too was lying on the ground. Clearly, the value of a tree isn't the same for everyone.

Snow and ice have turned over several trees here in the past 20 years... trees down, large root-balls up on the surface of the ground... large hole gaping. It always makes me sick with sorrow. All that time invested in that tree... gone.Barbee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/11316077390373348067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-2431628207412154512009-01-18T15:16:00.000+01:002009-01-18T15:16:00.000+01:00That's very sad, I'm sorry.

Laurel are quite slow growing, too, I think, but I hope you have other trees in your garden to make up for the loss. Soon it will be spring and you can grow new plants on your balcony too.chaiselonguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372135992072231446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-90468935112409345622009-01-18T15:05:00.000+01:002009-01-18T15:05:00.000+01:00My commiserations!

But rejoice, for that is the law of nature. Old has to at some point of time make way for young, and I am sure something beautiful will pop up very soon.Green thumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02985557905470748245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-21135129407466275302009-01-18T08:48:00.000+01:002009-01-18T08:48:00.000+01:00Oh I remember the laurel from your past post!

And since trees take years to replace (unless you have an extravagant budget), they're especially sad to lose. At least it didn't take your car out on the way down, though?
