Terri, I am SO sorry for the loss of your tree. I'm a "tree hugger" and love all of my trees. I hope that you can get it cut and hauled away without too much expense. Good Luck!

Most insurances are that way.
My husband had a Drs. appt. last week. Get this..., the Drs. complain about not making much money because of the insurance rates and the insurance companies pretty much regulating the medical industry; however, parked in his garage at the office was a new Rolls Royce. My husband thought he'd kid the Dr. about the Rolls being parked in the garage thinking that it may have belonged to the owner of the medical complex when the Dr. admitted that it was his and that he had traded his three year old Bentley in in December to buy the Rolls. I don't know! The whole medical world is in the same boat as the insurance and banking industry. There's a whole lot of greed going on. In the Drs. defense, maybe his family is just independently wealthy.

Twiley, the only way it will get cut & hauled away is when we do it. Insurance people said, if it'd fallen on the house they would fix the house & remove the tree, but it didn't fall on the house. Whatever. I foresee mucho mud in my day tomorrow & many limbs & branches!
Yes, thank God - all birds were OK. I had a panic missing 3 of them for about an hour, but found them & returned them to the pen. We cut one of the limbs & managed to get that fence section more or less standing upright - enough to contain the birds, anyway.
I hate to see those 3 old trees fading away. When I was 10 years old, I used to ride my horse out to them & dream I'd live there some day. When I was 14, my grandfather decided to split up the sections of land & he put the lot numbers in his cap & had each one of his 8 children draw, oldest to youngest. Daddy was the youngest. When it was his turn & 1 slip of paper remaining in Papa's cap, he told me to go get it & I did. It was the 10 acres with my trees on them.
That's funny about the Dr's Rolls Royce. My old veterinarian used to drive a Mercedez - this was back 30 years ago when he still made house calls for horses & cattle -- he had special racks built into the trunk to hold his medicines & equipment. He said if he was going to bounce up & down all our bad roads, he may as well be as comfortable as possible while he did it, lol. (He really was independently wealthy in addition to being a vet - he owned Loyd's Hall plantation). I used to threaten him to put a bumper sticker on it saying "I paid for this Mercedez"! That old car not only lasted several years with him, but 2 of his 3 daughters drove it after that. It was a horrible mustard yellow color, very distinctive.

Terri, that's a wonderful story about your property. That is quite special!
On your trees, I wish you lived closer to me. I have a guy that cuts down any oaks, maples, or pecan trees for me in exchange for the wood. He then sells off the wood as firewood. I hate cutting down perfectly good trees but I have to to give some space for the larger oaks and other desireable pecan and magnolia trees to grow. We are gently clearing our forest trying to preserve it's natural landscape and make it people and animal friendly. We clear the underbrush and then cut one tree at a time and then evaluate the need to cut more trees. To people that like to slash and burn everything..., it drives them crazy. I love it!
Funny story about your vet, too. We had a rather neat thing happen between us and our vet a while back. My husband had a cat that lived for 16 years. During the cat's life he saw the same vet for many years. At one time, he got an infestation of ear mites that nearly killed him. He recovered but was never quite the same after that. He stayed with a bit of neurological problem but was able to get by just fine. His behavior was just a bit odd. In his later years, he developed diabetes and had to have daily insulin injections to control his diabetes. A few times he had to stay over at the vets office for a few days to get his diabetes back in check because of diabetic seizures. Also, because he required daily injections he was boarded with the vet quite often when we went out of town. When that poor cat finally died the vet sent us flowers and a sympathy card. When you get flowers and a card from your vet you know you've spent too much $$$ on a pet.
We figured that we own a share of the new wing added onto his office!
