And after ...
The moment of truth came when the tree crew reached the trunk: a spongy center through the center limb and the beginnings of rot in the trunk. So it truly had to come down. I miss that tree and the way it sheltered our home. And now I have an entirely different micro-climate in the front yard. We'll install plant new perennials and shrubs along the foundation and a tree next fall and winter. The hydrangeas will move to the side yard, which is still shady. And we'll close the wood shutters quite a bit this summer to offset the increased heat from the sun.
Oh, well.
