Farewell Tree
Yes its a busy posting day... I needed a break and I have lots of things I needed to blog...
The tree guys arrived today to remove the dead tree. In about 5 minutes they had scaled the tree chopping off about 2/3 of the branches, cut the top of the tree off onto the drive and removed the branches from that. In the next 5 minutes they shredded all the branches, chopped down the remaining 2/3 of the trunk and cut it into logs for me. If you blinked you would have missed it.
