Today at Iten's Acres: The Tree Guys July 15, 2014

Well, the tree guys are here. Cutting up the fallen timber and the pine it destroyed--better than the house though. Then taking down three walnut trees! Have I ever mentioned how much I HATE walnut trees? There will be three less of them when the day is done! I will do my best to hold back the tears at their passing. Meanwhile the Homesteader is going a little insane. All that noise.

Some flowers and shrubs are smashed, but that was inevitable. Most should return next year as good as old. A couple are probably "history." It is more than worth it to get rid of those walnut trees.

I will save hours picking up nuts in the fall.

I can throw away my hard hat.

I can see down my driveway, and there will be tons more light on the flower bed by the house.

I don't have to worry about the monster behind my house falling on the roof.

Less food for the tree rats.

I will miss that beautiful pine though. It was a wreck thanks to the fallen tree. Oh well, lots of light now in the windows on that side of the abode. That's a plus, eh?!

I can always plant more stuff where the pine used to be, Heh, heh.
