Where did the weekend go? While I have always had an affinity for weekends, I look forward to them even more right now because it means I have more time to work on projects since Sean and I can tag-team the kids. I know -- we are quite the exciting couple! First, we decided it was a good time to take down a 90-foot tree that was about 5 feet from our house. Now, I'm a big lover of trees. I planted five alone at our last house, and always felt a sense of pride in taking a tiny bit of CO2 from our air. And the old trees? Even harder to do say goodbye to. However, not only was this tree completely covering up our house, it was too close for comfort. I have a friend who had a very close calls with an evergreen crashing through her house, and I didn't want that to happen to us...especially given that the kids room are right in the line of fire if the unthinkable were to occur. Thus, our house was a hive of tree activity on Thursday and Friday.
Here's what it looks like now. Pretty darn nice, if I do say so myself! Now, we just need to figure out some great plantings, but I think that may need to wait until next year...
