Trimming the Tree

Did you think that was a Christmas post?  Hope not!  We did some tree trimming but not of the holiday variety.  We talked about removing three of the six pines trees on the south side of our yard ever since we moved in.  Today we finally made it happen.  Keith had a co-worker come over and cut down three trees and top the remaining ones.  The amount of light in my back yard now is delightful!  Maybe this will improve my moss issue too.  Bonus.

 Firewood for some lucky person

 My shade loving hostas won't know what hit them.  Perhaps I'll move them and plant something new here next spring.

And then the chipper/shredder came and make quick work of all the branches. 

Done! 

Stay tuned for more home improvements coming our way.
