Well it looks like we might finally have some nice weather coming this way. Rained a bit yesterday, but warmed up later in the day to the upper 40s. Today should be warmer, and then Wednesday a high in the upper 60s. I like that.
We have a large tree in our yard that I hate. Actually, it's my neighbor's tree, but hangs over our yard quite a bit. I don't like it because it blocks the sunlight into my pool and makes the water cold. Of course, it's right along the fence and hanging over the shed. I got a quote last week to trim it straight up....$300. Huh? A few days ago a landscaper was working in the neighborhood and I asked him, he said the same thing. He said it's a tough tree to trim because of the location and having to cut the limbs in small pieces while still on the tree. So I'm not pleased. I don't want to drop $300. I found out my friend's cousin does trees professionally so I'm gonna try to get him out. Why is everything so expensive?
Hope everyone has a great day!

We have a tree on the street corner, huge, nasty, drops fruit all over the street and sidewalk, blocks the view. The neighbor said it's on city property and she inquired and their fees were something like $80K to remove it. I'm skeptical, so I'll have to check on that, but I believe long 1/2" drill bits and poison are cheaper. Or maybe a chainsaw in the night? I bet they'll get right on it when it's laying in the intersection.
