September's Clean up

 This evening was time to cleanup the

mess up under the north trees.  I removed

'4 full bags' of maple leaves, needles and 

can now see the the mulch that was put

down earlier this year.   My yard is now

cleaned again.

We will see how long it takes the tree service to 

dump into our yard.  It's to be in the 90s today!

So you think it's wise to cover the bed, nope!!

Yes, we sit higher than the lot to the north as 

the farmer made a 9 foot drop cut right by our 

fence!  Ya think the water runs down hill??

I have the rain barrels close to the deck covered.

The tree service did a nice job keeping the wood

chips to the north of our fence as they did trees

north of the ones on the fence line.  We will see

if this continues.  They say rain tomorrow!

Well I was out early before the rain hit at noonish!

Got the bin pulled to the front and while walking

across the north lawn I saw all the dead pine across

the grass area.  Yep, even on the deck.  No way to 

pick that up and so I mowed this am.  I swept off the 

deck and picked up a full dust pan of what fell.  When 

I mowed there was more pine than grass in the catcher.

They left the dying trees that drop the pine and we 

were told one Maple would taken out.  Guess he

lied again.  For years now we have dealt with the 

tree roots pulling up our fence and bowing.  One

time when DH tried up level the fence he removed

a section and got yelled at.  You see they removed

their fence that the hearing examiner stated they

needed.  So when DH removed a section to fix it

what can one say??  Since these trees were all planted

about the same time they became supports for each 

other.  So if you remove some, what will happen if they

don't have that support??  I know and we were watching

today as they swayed with the wind.  Now comes the 

leave gathering as they have been coming down now 

for a few weeks. Tree roots are a pain to deal with.

Today after cleaning up from the East tree service

I was able to vac up the leaves and pine out of the

three north beds, peony bed and off the deck.  1 1/2

buckets of pine with a lot of leaves.  

Photos to come.
