The Big Tree!!

Lookee what the Good Fairy left us on our table!! Nothing better to show up for but homemade jellies. And 5 different kinds. Yummy!!! Thanks Sallie!! and Clint. Not only for the jelly - but for watching our house while we were gone!!

While we were gone the big tree next to the garage disappeared!! Well, not exactly disappeared. . it had to be cut down. Sorry we missed the event - there were people here that took the day off to see it. It was a really tricky deal - 120' tall, right between 2 garages and a fence, with power lines running on 2 sides, and a lean. Patrick Meyers Tree Services did excellent work. They cleaned up the other tree the same day. What a difference!! And they cleaned it all up - never even left a branch behind!! The front looks so much better and way less scary. And now we can get between the garage and fence on that side. Everyone is happy!!

Next on the agenda is the "duck pond". Lots of work to do - busy every day. Had a hard time getting a bid from the excavation service that we had contacted - to my way of thinkin' (yea - watch the smoke) if they show poor service just getting a bid out - what kind of work would they do once they have part of your money???

But anyway - back to the BIG TREE - this is the tree behind our garage and beside our neighbors. Here are a lot of pics and Sallie even recorded most of it for me - she said it was amazing. And BTW that handsome man and little girl - that is her son Joe and granddaughter Haley. Isn't she a cutie??
