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!!!

    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.

    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.

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Molly bike riding????

Popster has been teaching Molly to run along side of his bike.  It has been a slow process but she's finally getting it.  They start off very slowly.......  then speed up a little......  which is when she gets crazy& decides to "carry" the leash......  gradually she feels more comfortable....  then she begins to gallop.... & the ears start to flap!!!!!
