Backyard Transformation

This past weekend we went out of state

To help my niece and her husband

Transform their yard.

Before

After

The ash trees in the backyard

Unfortunately were infested with 

The emerald Ash Borer

The trees were slowly being

Eaten to death

So they needed to come down

The Emerald Ash Borer Larvae

It eats the layer of the tree that supplies 

Water and nutrients

You cans see the trail where it

Has bored

The only proper way 

In their township to 

Dispose of them is to 

Either chip 

Or burn them
This is what a full grown one looks like

So of course

The men  went off

To the local HD and got a chipper
