Nicely done! I have some pruning to do on some Lilac shrubs that are in my way when mowing, but my anvil pruner can take care of those - also a Maple tree growing where it shouldn’t be, but still young enough to easily cut down.
Then, there’s a big Goldenrod growing in the middle of my beautiful row of Spirea on the east side of the house. Been driving me NUTS to get at that, too.
Weather is changing for the worse after today, so it’s now or never! Canada Wildfire smoke is lifting, but then it’s back to heat and humidity and maybe some rain the rest of the week. Good motivator to work on that under-stairs Pantry and to get my China hutch organized. Maybe. I talk a good game these days, LOL! ;)
We had Canadian smoke yesterday, really heavy. There was a smell in the air, too. Today is really hazy as well. I don’t like the smoke, but it does keep the sun from being so hot when trying to work.
Roofer coming out at 11 to check out the leak in our foyer. I think it’s flashing on a dormer window. It leaked bad enough that there was a puddle on the floor.
Today, after the roofer leaves, I want to finish up the landscape edging on the other side of the porch (company doesn’t see it when they arrive so that’s why I’ve put it off). After the edging, I’ll have to haul mulch to fill in that spot. I think I have room enough to pull the trailer up next to the bed & shovel straight from the trailer which is the most efficient way to do it.
It was a big day yesterday, getting the trees down and the barn gutter UP. That gutter won’t come down unless the board it’s now screwed to comes down with it! I love the Farm Bureau - there’s one guy there who has lots of good ideas & is super helpful. He told me where to find the cobalt drill bit for drilling through the metal gutter. When I told him how I planned to fix the gutter, he said he thought it would work - next time I see him, we’ll have something to talk about - successfully fixing that gutter!
Took my cousin to church Sunday - she’s fainting & having other issues, can’t drive right now. Anyway, I noticed a beautiful bush in her yard - it’s a double bloom purple Rose of Sharon - so pretty! I like the singles, too - might have to get more than one! I’ll probably have to order it online - two garden/nursery places I’ll check first. The rotten redbuds will be coming down soon & that’s where the Rose of Sharon bush(es) will go - since I got the humongous apple tree branch down, I know I can handle taking down the redbuds.
