Lumberjacks !


A beautiful Saturday.......sunny and about 75 degrees. I'm also so excited about Jill and family's arrival !! I spent the morning getting the boy's room ready.....a labor of love. Tomorrow we plan on getting the pool up and running.......never a real fun couple of hours , but well worth it .......it will soon be filled with smiling faces !
The big excitement of the day came around noon when the tree trimmers showed up. They're 3 "freelancers" that we've hired before to trim branches and to cut out mistletoe, but today we actually had quite a few trees that we wanted cut down. Some were dead of natural causes and others were ones that were a threat to the house when another big storm comes along. It was sobering this winter to see the damage done by the winds and heavy snows. We were fortunate that we didn't sustain any damage to the house from the falling trees and limbs. The guys just left a little while ago and now the debris cleanup starts.......good news is that we got about 3 cords of wood from the trees . We will have such a warm, cozy house this winter !
Time to start dinner....we're hungry ! Jasmine rice, shrimp and pea pods from the garden.
