Finally, finally, finally. The tree guys came and they're cutting down the giant, ugly, dirty, saggy, sappy, needle dropping, full of bees, pine tree in our front yard today. They're also cutting down a big maple tree on the edge of our driveway as it has a lot of dead limbs that fall onto the garage and driveway. It's rotting and if it falls, it will likely be into our bedroom. Our house is at least 3 stories and both of these trees are at least another 1 to 2 stories higher than the house. It's the first step in repairing our front yard. They're taking down the trees, hauling all of the wood and grinding away both of the stumps. We'll haul in at least 10 yards of rich black dirt and hopefully start new grass this spring. I'm a little nervous to go home though...I might not recognize my house without those trees.
Our retired neighbor (who is glad to see that pine go) is out sitting in his truck at the end of his driveway, watching the show. I had Jeremy go out to assure him that we will fix any damage to his yard and of course, Jacob is resisting his nap. I'm sure once school is out we'll have a bigger audience. I kinda wish I was there to watch too...
