the tree

A few days ago we watched what I would guess to be a 100-year-old tree, in our neighbor's yard,
get chopped down. I sat with the boys in front of the new, North windows. Every five minutes the house shook, the remaining 38 old windows rattled and another piece of the tree fell to the ground.
The only evidence left is a large cross section of the trunk that was carefully placed in their landscaping.
 That tree had a twin, and he stands on a corner of our backyard.

  1. Was the tree diseased or falling on the power line, or perhaps dead?.. I feel bad when trees of that age are felled.. Glad the twin is still there.
