Sitting on our front porch, looking to the side yard and our 1/2 garage beyond. Sky is now visible due to a 29" diameter Norway Maple that was growing out of our garage and dropping limbs on our neighbors house. As Norway Maple is an invasive, and prevented anything else from growing in our yard due to its shallow and poisonous roots, not too sorry to see it go.

The birch trees in the foreground may not last much longer - they are cable-stayed together. But they are a cheerful addition to the garden.
