The trees

Well I am having some tree work done next week. The weather is nothing but thunderstorms all week and there are already branches down. I know that there will be a lot more, but there is no reason to start with it still raining. First thing Monday morning they will come and lean it up, as well as cut down any branches that need to be taken down. We used to do it ourselves but started hiring someone else because honestly, they have professional climbing gear and it is much easier for them to do.

This will also get our trees ready for the winter season that will be coming along shortly. That way if we have any ice storms this year, I won’t have to worry about it then. It will all be taken care of. I learned my lesson with that a few years ago when we had a large branch come down on the hood of one of the cars. Now we don’t take any chances. I wouldn’t want one to come down on one of the kids when they are outside, so it is best to be prepared. You might want to take a look at the trees in your yard and see if they need to be trimmed so that you don’t have problems with it later.

Almost Spring

It was cloudy when I woke up this morning, but the sun has come out and it’s a beautiful day. Cannot believe Spring is next week! Going into March, I wondered if we would finally have any big snow storms, but it looks like we dodged the bullet this Winter. All in all, it was one of the mildest Winters I remember. I was prepared, I purchased an electric snow blower during the bad storms two years ago. Luckily, it never left the closet. Trees and shrubs are turning green, flowering trees are blooming beautiful and the birds have been singing loudly every morning. Spring and Fall are my two favorite seasons so I am excited it’s finally here.
