love your waving palms/Jesus pix! thanks potlatch!

Meg.. tree removal trimming is so expensive. We have a pretty big yard & I have a lot of big trees that have fallen & I let them stay.I had a friend who was kind enough in Nov to TOP a very tall evergreen that was leaning into wires. I had a couple estimates on it & the costs just to top ...not take down all & haul away was between 350 -600.

For friend John,,I took him to dinner & he was happy!

All...enjoyed the cooking conversation. I am amazed at how many young couples do NO cooking..take out or eat out all the time.Dont even make sandwiches.No wonder they need a two income family!

When I got married I really did not know how to cook. My mom was excellent but always shoed me out of kitchen as I was in way & slowed things down.

I recall confiding to my aunt at my wedding about my lack of skills & she asked me if I could read.. and said if I could read & follow directions I could cook. I guess I never saw my mom use a cookbook..just everything in head & automatic/natural. I am now that way but it took a bit to get confidence & enough knowledge to be able to do it.

Had a great visit at a former church this AM. Hadn’t been there for about 5 years. Loved it & people but round trip was 60 miles & too far for active participation, which I like to do.

Did dog walk in big park after..met friend who lived in area.. then lunch & watched the 2nd half of cav’s gave while eating Mexican & sipping margaritas.

Rain comes tonight & snow tomorrow.. YUK!

Hope all are having a great day!

I want this tree gone...it’s a junky elm in the ravine invading my good trees..It will cost me 100 dollars...if the guy returns when I call.
He was sober when he gave me the estimate.
