On Saturday my mum came over to watch the kids while Stephen and I attacked our bird-nest-looking apple tree. It's old and very very very unkept and we've (I've!) been thinking about the who's the how's the when forever. Since we were supposed to (haha!) get a reasonably cool day and mum could help out with kiddes we decided not to postpone it anymore.
No consideration taken to the effect on amount of loss of fruit and what's the "right" thing to do we aimed at it just looking alright, like an apple tree again. :D
It was HOT and clammy but we were not gonna be held back by that now that we'd finally taken the decision! Stephen climbed the tree and I stood below shouting directions (of which he ignored the most). :P
After a LONG, warm day about 2/3 of our big tree was gone and our "little" apple trees had also gotten a good trim.
Most of Sunday was spend hauling tree branches and twigs away and doing additional trimming of the trees, this time in occasional showers. End result is fantastic, the trees are (at the moment) looking really good! :D Healthy. :)
Took a during and after pic of the bird-nest-tree, will post it as soon as I've gotten them loaded onto computer! :)
Anton is off from dagis 'til August 4th when it's time for Erin to start kindergarten too... :( Time goes too fast...she really really really isn't a baby anymore. :)
Yesterday Susanna and her girls were over, kids swapped siblings for most of the day. Nice with a change I guess... :D Anton followed Julia everywhere copying everything she did and Erin toddled after Elsa in awe... :D
Nice, as always, to have visitors! :)
edited to add photos.
