Today is beautiful…

Our Ash tree is in full color

Still standing with the Ash blight

Trying to infiltrate our whole neighborhood…

The county was here today inspecting

Our tree and deciding to only trim

A few branches rather than cut it down…

Our development has been stripped of

So many Ash trees in the past 3 years

And some neighborhoods have been

Transformed from shady cool streets

To bright sunny ones as replacement trees

Will take years to transform these areas back

To their shady lanes…
