Yesterday we had an arborist come and look at two of our trees. Unfortunately, they are our favorite trees that are ailing. Our red maple in the front yard is going to get some extra attention and be taken care of and we'll see if we can help it. The arborist is going to trim out dead bits and check it well. Today Les and I removed several buckets of mulch from around it and uncovered its root flare and then set up the new soaker hose I bought for it today. We talked nice to it while we were out there and gave it a pep talk. :)
The holly tree in the back yard, sadly, is going to be removed soon. They will take it down, grind the stump, remove all the parts, clean things up and fill the hole with good dirt. Later, in the Fall, a new tree will be planted. We are trying to decide what kind, and will be taking the advice of the specialist on that.
I have also set up appointments for service on the clothes dryer. It dries okay, but is taking longer. We have the ductwork cleaned every year, and I think maybe it's time for the dryer to be taken apart and cleaned out.
Kirk is scheduled for service on Thursday. And I have a haircut scheduled for Friday.
In other areas, I finally got the small fairy garden set up that Jacquie gave me for Mother's Day. Very cute! I didn't do it sooner because I was afraid the furry boys would play in it while we were gone.
And then I got the new seat cover on the rocking chair and the pillow cover the pillow that Pam gave me for Mother's Day. Again, I waited because I knew they would just get hairy while we were gone. This is just a fact of life for people who love cats, and especially long-haired ones. If you keep up with it, it's fine. If you're gone for three weeks, it gets out of hand. :) (Everything has been cleaned now)
So, life is good! Stay safe and God Bless America!
