<\/a>\nAnother elm in our neighborhood has succumbed to Dutch Elm, making 5 or 6 big boulevard elms that have been removed around our corner in the last few years, and there are a few more nearby whose days are almost certainly numbered. This one was from right across the street, and there was a wee bit of panic when we realized what was going on, because the tree and equipment were about to block our driveway less than 15 minutes before we Sub-Evil Boy and I had to take off for Prairie Fire Theatre Camp<\/a>.<\/p>\n
These were gorgeous old trees, which provided us with shade in the summer and shelter from January’s bitter north winds. They will be missed. We lost all three of our boulevard elms in the past three years, and it’s already made a very noticeable difference to the lawn, gardens, and house.<\/p>\n
We’re working on planting new trees, but those will be more for the next generation than ours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
