Trees












Popster & I have been fighting, arguing, having a discussion about a couple trees in the back yard since last year.  He feels they overhang the house too much & thinks they are going to fall on it during a storm.  My thinking is they have been like that for the 17 years we have lived here leave them alone!!!




These are the two in question.  I finally said okay have someone come in & look at them but added the following condition
  1. No heavy equipment is allowed any place in the yard
  2. Not one part of my perennial can be disturbed ( the trees are growing in it) 

I figured there would be no way he would find someone who would agree to that & give him a reasonable quote

WRONG!!!

  1. Oh dear, you lost that one but you did win the one about a beautiful new kitchen.
    Trees really aren't pretty when they are in your house. I know this went through hurricane Andrew.

  2. What was the verdict? I have three old, very tall cedar trees in a cluster in my backyard. They are the only trees. Their roots are starting to protrude above ground. I am afraid they will someday uproot and fall over. I am on a hill, and the trees are on the downhill side, which means if they fall, they'll take out my neighbor's fence for sure, and maybe part of their house. UGH.

Forever Family Day

Oh my.....where does the time go!  Ten years ago this scared & tiny little girl was brought into a room full of strangers. She was so confused by the strange faces. Now look at the beautful, confident girl she has grown into. We love you LiLi💖 Love

Yowsa!

 I was woken up around 3:30am yesterday by thunder as a line of severe storms were rolling through the area.  My alarm goes off at 4:00am so I figured I'd just get up.  I was standing in the kitchen waiting for the coffee pot when there was a blinding explosion in the back yard along with a huge clap of thunder.  It was like someone threw a bomb in the yard....needless to say it scared the crap out of me & I was waiting for a tree to fall.  We didn't see anything & I left the house at 7:00am while it was still raining.  Popster didn't see this until last night but it had struck this big oak that is about 15 feet from our sun room.  It just stripped that piece of bark right off the tree  Makes the expression "Don't mess with Mother Nature" become very real!
