Every spring we are "Bombarded" with Cotton from the trees in the back yard, and every Fall we are "Bombarded" with leaves so many leaves that it is like the sands of the sea. You just get them all raked up only to go down the next day and fine that you have to start all over again. And in the Spring and Summer you have to pick up all the dead branches that have fallen out of the trees. Well I have put up with all that longer than i have wanted to......The only reason I have for so long is I love all the shade.
There is shade all day long.....every where. They did tell us that they were surprised that the trees were as healthy as they were, being as old as they were. they usually start to die after 25 years and the trees (we guess) are about 30 years old.
But on Monday this truck backed into the yard and the make over began.
He's pretty far up in the tree.
can you see the little man hanging in the tree?
that's a lot of wood and leaves!!!!
Dad told them that he would use ALL the mulch from the trees.....WELL....... this pile you see here is about half of the pile they left the FIRST DAY So dad told them to take all the mulch on the 2nd. day. Good thing there is still a good truck full still down there.
Ed Glade came by and said that he would take all the wood to use this winter in their fire place.
A years supply!
Well you can see what the yard looks like now. 5 trees less. Hopefully the other trees will be able to grow some now that they aren't smothered by the big trees.
we'll be able to see the new part of the park.
This tree really had to go because it was destroying the pipes and slide.

WOW! Your tree cutting was more fun then our tree cutting! Dad will enjoy it this fall I am sure.
I didn't remember that tree by the pipes and slide. I guess I have been gone too long! It looks great!
It does look great! More room to run and play.
Wowk...it looks so different. I'll bet the Glades were thrilled with all of that wood. What are you going to use the tree mulch for?
Too bad you couldn't have moved all those big trees to my yard. I would have taken them, cotton, falling leaves, and all. Shade is a rare commodity in our yard.
That really is quite a different look now. Are you going to plant anything else?
