Summer Holiday Weekend Recap
Hello and happy Monday to you! Did you melt this weekend? My Lord it was hot. And what do you do when you're us on a hot weekend? Dig out a tree obviously. 😑 Remember the pic of the tree from last week after the landscapers hacked it up? It went bye-bye. We were going to attempt to save it to possibly see if my friend could plant it at her new home (even though it should be done when dormant.) Well, after determining the roots attach to the Earth's core, we had to scrap that idea. We tried to get out early enough but it wasn't. We hacked off the top in sections using some really great pruning shears that made that job super easy then the Mr lobbed off the top so we could begin on the roots. We bought a shovel called the Root Slayer and I will say it did an amazing job getting through most of it.

We got a good dumping of snow in early January and then followed that up by bitter cold. So now its starting to get into low double digits again and its snowing again. I prefer the snow to the bitter cold anytime though.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome to some of the 2 feet+ of snow they are forecasting for us to get starting sometime Friday. The Capital Weather Gang said in one forecast, "Wherever you are Friday evening, plan to be there through Sunday and possibly Monday." Yeah, not looking forward to this weekend at all.
