I'm kicking myself for not having a "before" picture of the tree, but here is the stump after it was removed.  It was a big ass tree with thick heavy branches that towered over my house.  Very scary.  The picture somehow makes the stump look small, but it's actually quite huge. I had it and a smaller tree, which was all but dead  and leaning in the direction of my garage, removed.  The lowest bid I got for the work was $900.  They did a great job, and they also took away all the tree limbs I'd had piled against the fence from pruning.

I made an aquaintance of the man who did the work.  He is going to bring me shredded tree mulch until I tell him to stop.  Yay - this is awesome to me.  I need to remember to call him and tell him to dump it in the "back 40" and not in my vegetable garden.... 

So, it was a minor financial "hardship" - but I feel elated that I took action on something costing a large chunk of money that was technically optional.  Maybe my Bach Flower program is working.  Time will tell :-)  Next up - replacing the siding on the sheep side of the house.  Will need to delay at least until I can get the $900 paid off.
