sad day

We have 3 beautiful ash trees in our front yard( 2 directly in front of the house and one in front on the side). They are growing into the power lines, so they either have to be cut down or trimmed way back. The type of line and the type of tree it is, really would leave them short and really chopped. Like maybe 7 ft tall if that.

So they are cutting down the 3 trees today :( We did get them to agree to give us 15 lilac plants for the front yard. Its still not the same though. Our house looks so naked without the trees and there is sooo much sunlight now. It really shaded the entire front yard. Sigh ... I know it needs to be done but I guess I really dont have to like it.
