You know how when you go ice skating or roller skating and when you are done it still feels like you are skating. That sensation also happens to me when I do something for a long time and close my eyes I see whatever it was I was doing. Which a couple of weeks ago happened to be trees, lots and lots of trees. Every year it has to be done. I was waiting for Larry to do it but he had been so busy doing other things that I started and then like the energizer bunny kept on going. It took me 5 days to trim 20 fruit trees and 3 ornamental trees.
But it is done and they are budding out as we speak.
I literally climb up into the trees because it's easier for me to reach most of the branches. I found a couple of birds nest. I should have marked the trees so I could see if the birds returned this year to lay eggs.
Larry likes to trim with the chain saw. So he came through after me and sawed off a few branches and then trimmed the 3 cherry trees with the chain saw. He had to clean them up after a bear last year got into one of the trees and twisted and broke some branches. Hopefully the bears will stay away since our chickens are free range chickens now.
