This is the last photo of the spruce tree on Easter weekend, 2011. The large and very old spruce tree just south of Old Orchard Hill is gone. Two similar sized spruce have collapsed in the yard, and with this one so close to the house, it was decided it would be prudent to remove it.  A new tree will be planted in its space this summer, maybe a maple or ginko if they survive in such a cold climate, or some hardwood tree with beautiful color in the fall. I hope there weren't any bird nests in that spruce.
