Weeping for Our Willow

We were about to head for the park when the weather started to look bad.  We decided to stay home and a few minutes later a storm blew through.  The wind got really strong and Ella was watching it out our back window.  She said, "Mom, the willow tree is gone!"  I wasn't sure what she meant by that as I walked toward the window.  Our willow tree had snapped at the trunk from the strength of the wind.  
I am not a huge fan of willow trees but we will definitely miss this tree.  It provided great privacy shade from the neighbors.  A few more years and our pine trees will be able to provide that privacy but until then the tree will be missed.
