They cut down the tree!

We have four of these trees, I couldn't find the name of them.  I thought they were Chinese Cherry trees, but that is not what I see when I search it online.  They have these little purple berries that make a mess on my sidewalks, and sometimes, in my house!  So we decided to replace two of them with fruit trees.  Here is a picture of the other one we will cut down:



Here are their berries:



I do not want to cut them all down because I love to watch the Cedar Waxwings flying in and eating them.  They are the cutest birds:



The same kind of bird that flew into our front window earlier this year:



I don't like the mess they make after they eat, though!


Bye bye, tree:


After the shovel handle broke, (thankfully, no one got hurt!) the tree trunk was loose enough, and Dad was able to push it sideways, with the help of my "Lizard" and it came out!



We will put a peach tree here, or some other fruit tree.  I can now see how much shade that little tree was giving us on our back porch!

*sigh* I'm SO SO jealous! I LOVE Cedar Waxwings- I think they are the prettiest birds but I've never seen one IRL. Lucky you!

Glad you didn't get rid of all of them. We never see Cedar Waxwings so they much really love those trees.


How exciting to plant some fruit trees though!! Fun.
