The trees that we lost were our Bradford pears. The wind split four of them down the middle. We have a few more that we will probably go ahead and take down, as well. The former owners of our home planted them too close to the house and now that they are mature, they need to come down. It'll be nice to open up the yard a little.

weekend plans
My husband has promised to take me to see the movie: Julie and Julia tomorrow evening. I have been waiting for this movie to come out. I wish all my blogger friends could go with me. Anyone seen it yet? I am working this afternoon and my poor husband came home to even more yard work this weekend. We had a rough storm Wednesday night and we had four of these trees to go. He has been busy cutting them down and removing them. Now the poor guy has to mow the lawn. I feel bad for him because he works away from home all week, just to come home and do lots of yard work.
One thing for sure... that is one job you could not do... Glad Billy can... Have fun at your movie...
ReplyDeleteOh I went and saw this movie yesterday and LOVED it! Hope you enjoyed it to!
ReplyDeleteUpdate: Saw the movie last night... it was great... all bloggers and cooks should see it!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movie, but from the previews on TV it looks like it would be a good one. Bradford pear trees are bad about splitting down the middle. Two people in our subdivision have them and this has happened to both of them.
