Trees give us so much. Just visited a park where so many majestic old oaks had fallen and your words speak to how I felt.

It's sad when a tree you've known your whole life has to go. Chestnut trees are so pretty!

Oh the sadness in losing an old tree friend. I have been writing an essay about the same thing. Thanks for sharing, Amie!

This is beautiful, that chestnut tree had a great life watching over you. I’m sure the linden tree will be equally as joyful to grow there and capture all the secrets of the neighborhood
