We were very busy yesterday! First we cut down this spruce tree. It was SAD! I know! It is a beautiful tree! But it was going to get 2 or 3 times as large and it is not in a good place next to the sidewalk.We left part of the trunk and mom spent a lot of time making it level. We’ve been working on setting up a Little Free Library and we mounted a platform on the tree trunk and then secured the LFL to it. This is where the careful leveling paid off! Our awesome neighbor Margo came over to help and she also brought some children’s books for the library! Then today her husband Steve came over with his power tools and strong hands and put in longer screws and also countersunk them so it looks nicer and is super sturdy. We have the best neighbors!!!If it is true that every tree ring equals a year then this tree was about 13 years old. We will miss the tree but we are honoring its memory by using it for the Library.
