Why sad? I’ve so much to be glad about. My wife loves me; I love her. My dogs are lying at my feet. I’m enjoying a cup of coffee.
But I love trees and today we had eight cut down and their roots ground out. They took many years to grow. They weren’t sick. They were in the way. Electricity has become so expensive that we’ve had solar panels installed, and they stopped the sun shining onto the panels in the afternoons.
We have a heap of mulch which will make my gardening wife happy, but I’m sad
I guess that in the long run it is for the best; but I’m still sad!

I would be sad as well. More than sad, really quite upset. So now you’ll need to plant some replacement trees. In the same spot but little short stumpy ones.

I would be sad to lose one tree let alone eight. It is suprising how quickly the eye becomes accustomed to the bare spot. Fruit trees would be a great compromise.

It is sad to cut down trees that big but it was for a good reason. It will be worth it. I would love to install solar panels as our electric is so expensive.
