Boring Life

So I'm thinking our life must be really boring when the highlight of our Saturday is the cutting down of the tree in our front yard. This tree was huge and a nuisance. This past spring as I was trying to plant a flower garden right by my house I found roots from said tree growing right up next to the foundation not to mention popping up all over the yard. The decision was made it had to go. Doug was going to cut it down, but I think someone didn't want him to. Every time he tried to climb up to test the waters so to speak the wind would blow like crazy. So we hired someone and you know what? No wind when he cut it down. Anyway here we go with the cut down.

Getting limned

Topped off



More and more getting cut


All down on the ground




Now next spring when the roots try to send up sprouts everywhere, we will cut a layer off the remaining truck and liberally apply Roundup to get soaked up and thus kill the tree roots and all. Yes, I'm a little nuts cause this is exiting for me. That tree was a bain in my life and I'm glad to be rid of it.
