LOL! You need to go posthaste to Springfield and get those cedar boards! They sound wonderful!
Property in Texas where my folks were had LOTS of that scrub cedar. They used it for all kinds of things. The fence posts and trellises with yours are ideal things. Mostly I tried to stay away from them in pollen season! I was surrounded!
I can understand the debate about the chopping of trees. Darlin has been wanting to thin out our pecan trees, and I have not wanted to. Turns out, in class we learned that they are way too close together, and really DO need to be thinned out. Oh well. Darlin really does know a lot that I am only just trying to catch up to! Without the thinning, they are being stressed.
I wish you both well in your discussions! May you come up with the best solution that makes it all a win/win for you both, as well as the overall health of your trees.
Well, it’s a stalemate - not even a cold war. Now I am reminded of a story a friend of our told. He was laying carpet or tile - can’t remember which.
An old man and his wife were arguing over some thing to do with the house décor. It was rather obvious that the man usually got his way, and did so again.
However, when he left the room, she looked at our friend and said, It ain’t always going to be that way. One of these days, I’ll be able to do whatever the H*LL I want.
