...we spent a couple of evenings removing an old broken chestnut tree from the back yard...
...an old photo of Scout climbing the tree...
...it was bigger than it looked - I think mainly because the branches were so thick...it's going to make quite a pile of firewood for next winter...
...y'all know what a tree-hugger I am...but we got rid of this tree for lots of reasons...it was damaged in the derecho last year...it leaves prickly burrs all over the yard...but mainly because the Man and Scout are both terribly allergic to it's pollen...
...the Man also cut down the two oddly placed holly bushes in the middle of the backyard - you can see them in this old photo...
...one of the really great things about a blog is that we can look back through the years at the way things were...changes we've made...things we've accomplished...when something happened...I love that...
...so now all the prickly things have been removed from the backyard...we cut them off right at the ground and we covered the stumps with dirt and planted some new grass seed...
...then we pulled all the brush around front and the city people came by with a big chipper and chipped it all up...
...it was fun being outside in the fresh cool spring air working together...
~Wishing you a lovely start to your weekend...

I am allergic to tree pollen and as the blossom is just coming out - really late this year - I have just put in drops for my itchy eyes. But it is the various catkins that really get me, thankfully they are finished now.
ReplyDeleteGood to clean up those kinds of trees and bushes. Yard looks nice. MOM
