I think the picture says it all. The biggest Bur Oak in Tennessee lies behind me never again to shade the landscape as it had for the past 200 years. As you can see it was hollow way up the trunk and 80 mile per hour winds from a storm last Thursday night was just too much. When I heard about this tree it was if I had just lost a close friend who I thought would always be there. You can't blame anyone for this. It was just time for this tree to go. But it still breaks my heart to know I won't see this tree in town anymore. The mayor in town has already contacted me about making something special from this tree. My sawmill can only handle the branches so stay tuned to see what we decide to make.
On a happier note Logan's little league team the "Muckdogs" have finished the season undefeated, 12 and 0. Logan is the lead pitcher and lead off batter. Yes, I am a proud father. This was the last year Logan can play little league baseball and I will sure miss going to the park for games.
