Trees become a part of your property and I become saddened when something like this happens.

That said, I understand the perils of black sticky stuff everywhere!<br /><br />ONE thing - I cannot see the photos at the begin of your blog story re: tree here - i can see the final two pix - yes, i have refreshed the page etc. fyi - I can see all the bubble pix perfectly. I'll leave it with you.<br /><br />Looking fwd to more of your posts as we enter the harvest and cooking / baking time of year.

I do have a gigantic oak tree in my yard now that spits sap like that. Some helpful men trimmed it back quite a bit this year so the sap wasn't too bad, but we still had a fine coat over the whole yard, and the wasps enjoyed it. No clothesline for me. The tree has some historical significance so I think it will stay where it is until it is unsafe. The leaves in the fall, sap in the spring/early summer and acorns in the late summer ... what a mess!<br />rachel joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14181423039425342650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-73458738328126171472013-09-18T12:32:48.836-07:002013-09-18T12:32:48.836-07:00I also can only see the last 2 photos.

When we had 10 trees cut down in the summer it made the house so much brighter and I think I'll really enjoy it in the winter when the days are shorter and the sun is lower.Pamela Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071092617682650349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-8736655147153952742013-09-18T10:11:36.320-07:002013-09-18T10:11:36.320-07:00Even I am sorry your tulip tree had to go... but b...Even I am sorry your tulip tree had to go... but by the sound of it .. You made the right choice! It's a good thing new trees can be planted. I missed seeing all but the last two photos as well. Fun to count the rings. Did you plant that tree when you moved to the farm?Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-75598630158824025182013-09-18T08:28:30.207-07:002013-09-18T08:28:30.207-07:00I can only see the last 2 pictures, but I know EXA...I can only see the last 2 pictures, but I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. We have a tulip tree. And this year it will be cut down. The aphids, wasps, ladybugs and raining sap were too much for us this year, covering our vehicles, our entire front lawn, the front of our house, etc. I love the shade it gives us in the hot afternoon sun but the cons are outweighing that one pro....kelly enshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029562951606332352noreply@blogger.com
