In the place where the tree falls, there shall it lie

It's a lovely late fall morning--great day for tree-felling!
This old Chinese Elm was old when we moved here 42 years ago. It's been an eye sore--mostly dead--for several years now. But no more! Today, the tree guys came and 7 hours later, everything is cut up, cleaned up, and removed.
Now we really have a view!
The cats are a bit curious about that spot in the front yard, but they have plenty of cat-climbing trees by the garden!
