Teach us to Number our Days...

I'm not sure if the title of the post will match the content but it keeps rattling around in my head as I think about these pictures.

This tree will soon be only a fraction of itself.  Half of it is rotten to the core.  It stands adjacent to our backyard and is one of the largest non coniferous types.  

The problem is this large, gaping, cave like hole in the bottom.  The tree experts tell us that there is not much substance holding this tree up on this side.  

Light shines through from the other side.

Thankfully the tree is two trunks and the tree cutter will only be taking the left side portion.  Hopefully leaving the Yoda like cave and also giving the boys a large flat base on top about 6 feet up.

This tree is scheduled for a felling any day now or maybe in two weeks.  I just had to get pictures before its drastically altered.
