Oh to have this much energy again! We really wanted to trim some trees today; however, the ground is sooooo wet that the ladder would sink to the center of the earth. Instead...
I'll give you a Big Friday Hug! And I will send lots of Blessings your way because your friendship always puts a smile on my face and is a blessing to me.
Now I'm heading outside to see what I can get into because staying inside and paying bills just seems like no fun when the sun is shining brightly on my orchids. Make a wish in the wishing well for rain.
So a man shows up, Johnny, with a huge machine, a stump grinder. After it was unloaded, it only took between 15-25 minutes and the stump was mulch, dirt and all.
So now that this job is finished, I guess you know where the bodies are hidden. We still have 3 or 4 Juniper trees to trim and a large crepe myrtle to trim. Our work is never completely done.
But the timing couldn't have been better. Rain started yesterday evening. Then last night we had 3 different thunderstorms come through at midnight, 1 am and 3 am. We ended up Monday evening with 1" and this morning with 2". Once again, we were blessed as others in the DFW area, Dallas - Ft. Worth, had tornado sirens go off and some got hail from pea size to golf ball size and larger.
Showers bring flowers! The BlueBonnets are starting to "pop". The sun came out earlier but we now have big, white, puffy clouds everywhere. Looking forward to the upper 70's for a couple of days. Can't wait to hear what you have been doing!
Well, as you can tell the tree is completely cut down. And the good news is our roofer took all the twigs and logs on Saturday to his mom's place because she likes to burn wood in her fire pit. Then around lunch time today our fence guy hauled off all the green stuff for a small price. Now on Wednesday, depending on rain, we found someone to come and use a stump grinder to finish the only thing left.
I just love all the light that comes in my window where my 12 orchids and 3 Christmas cactus are sitting. It makes such a difference in the yard too. I am constantly planting trees as they pop up in the flower beds to the yard and I really have too many so this was a true blessing.
I'm wishing you blessings for the rest of this week. It looks like we are going to get rain and storms this evening and more on Wednesday. I am working Wednesday so I don't mind so much.
Hope you enjoy it. We got it completely cut up in 8-1/2 hours. Only thing left is the stump. We have someone hopefully coming today to pick up wood and twig piles. Then there are the 18 green piles that either we haul off or pay someone to haul off. We are blessed to have friends that came over and helped the last 1-1/2 hours. Now, the stump.

Hi Nancy. How have you been did you get a lot of cold where you are in TX. I think the whole USA was colder than it has been in years. I hope you are doing okay and everything is fine with you. Wishing you a beautiful Day and great first day of Spring
