Now You See Them . . Now You Don't





We said "good bye" to some trees today. Two big ones near the front of the back yard, on both sides of the house. They were getting too big for the space, and they were getting too messy. They dropped "snow flakes" that sprouted new trees all over the place. So now things look more open.

Springtime & the Rockies




While Mike & Kallie are playing Rocky Mountain High, we're doing yard work. But there are signs of spring to make it worth it. Cooper & Danny came to help today. We also arranged to have two large trees cut down this coming Monday. The guy said that they are Japanese Elm Trees. That would explain why they grew like King Kong. Though they make nice shade, they make a real mess each Spring and Fall. The one by the garage is also in the way of driving the trailer in and out, so having it gone will be a good thing. Slowly but surely we are getting the yard ready
