I took this picture back in January of the pine trees that are on the back side of our yard.
Our neighbor had brought it to our attention that one of the pine trees had started to lean and was heading towards her house.We hadn't even noticed that since that tree was hidden by the other trees.We made arrangements to have the tree cut down this morning.
Before the guys even got here the tree had already fallen on her roof.It happened to be a tall tree without many limbs so the part that landed on her roof didn't do any damage.Having it fall like that made it easier for the guys to take it down.
We have lived here going on 10 years this coming August.Why the former homeowners would plant a pine tree right on the property line is beyond us.Our neighbor contacted the former owner since she knew them and he told her that he had indeed planted those pine trees.They were only seedlings at the time.I am wondering how long ago he planted them since they have grown so much.
It is a good reminder to everyone to remember that trees do grow and to be careful where you plant them.Make sure that they have plenty of room to grow and that they might not cause any damage in future years.We have had some very strong winds this year which had caused the tree to come down.

Wow! What a blessing that the tree didn't do any damage to the neighbor's roof!
The snow is beautiful....to look at! I love the picture.
That picture is kind of deceiving as when I first looked at it, just another pine tree picture...then after looking more carefully...holy moly but that's a huge tree!!! The table and chairs underneath look like doll furniture!! Thank goodness no one was hurt when the one tree fell!!!
I do love a place surrounded by trees!!!
Such a pretty picture. The snow lookes like icing sugar coating the tree branches.
Glad to hear there was no damag when the tree fell on your neighbors roof.
Wow, it sure did make a beautiful winter snow picture. Glad all is well.
