In our backyard, in front of the cinder block fence in-between our next door’s house, there are three trees. When we moved in this house in 2014, there were no trees there. We didn’t plant the trees. We never water the trees. They naturally sprouted and grew by themselves. They grew big and tall quickly, probably within one year or so. The three trees have lots of green leaves and give the wide area of shape. We like these trees. Thanks to them, there are natural blinds from our next door’s tenant. We were not planning to cut the trees.
However, we discovered something. When we thoroughly cleaned up the backyard a couple of weeks ago, we found the roots of the three trees are becoming so thick and big that they broke out to the ground through the tiles. We were afraid that the roots might destroy the fence and damage something in the next door. So, reluctantly, we decided to cut our three trees. We didn’t want to, but we had to.
During the process, my husband used the electric chainsaw and I picked up the cut branches and brought them to other area of the backyard. There were a couple of times for both of us to get injured by the sharp branches, but we were protected somehow. We both felt it was my late dad-in-law for protecting us from any possible injuries. We appreciate him. He used to love any outside works. I knew he was with us enjoying working with us.
