I have intended to put up pics of the house, so I'll get one put up for now
(left).
To the far side of the yard
(right) a good-sized pine tree has been dying, which we found out this past winter when trying to clean up the scrubby mess of vines and plants. Chris pulled away a thick vine and quite a lot of the base of the tree came with it --rotted. A couple weeks ago I decided to call the power company to see if they would cut it down, as it was right beside the power lines. They did, last week, and we have been cleaning up the remains. Poison Ivy!! We got good (?!) cases, and Chris actually had to go see the doc for some medicine. It is drying up, though there are occasional fits of itching. It was worth it, though, to have the tree gone. It really opened up the yard. The neighbor's son was doing some work in that yard and offered to use the trackhoe to dig up the stump. The thing turned out to be bigger and the root deeper than any of us thought.
Now to just get rid of the trunk pieces (we burned the pile of brush).
