era

It was the end of an era this evening...ok, only about 4 to 5 years, but still.
We had to cut this tree:

Sad...but it was growing out of control...the roots were starting to go down the side of the house into the backyard. Not good.

So farewell ol' tree...your branches won't keep me up at night because the wind is blowing them up against the guttering. :)
