It never rains it pours.....

I'm very angry. Well actually angry doesn't quite cover it-furious maybe? A few months back we gave permission to the power company who has power lines running throughout our property to trim some trees that might have touched the line this coming spring-simple no?-we thought no more of it. Today we went for a drive around the side of the property where these trees are, we haven't been for a few days, and discovered to our shock and dismay that our 50+year old mulberry tree, planted by the family and a fond part of our growing up, was gone. Yes you read that right-a absolutely beautiful 25+ metre tree just gone, only a small stump is left, this tree has survived fires and droughts and managed to bear enough fruit every year for jam, pies and just picking fresh delicious fruit as we passed by-and some dope with a chainsaw ruined all that, all it would've took was a phone call to double check with us. The worst part is there is nothing I can do, it's gone. I can only hope that the people who cut it down will at least buy a new tree to take it's place. I'm not holding my breath.
