Bob talked with the tree guys as they were working on my neighbors trees and decided to have our trimmed and whatever was necessary.
So all day yesterday we heard chain saws buzzing, tree/limb grinders groaning, trucks and other machines and men yelling to each other.
I couldn't believe how much the men removed from our four oaks and one huge maple... still with leaves on ! One gum tree and one maple had to be cut down - rotten inside.
Squirrels will have much further to jump since there aren't any limbs reaching to our roof or the neighbors!!
This took them all day... the men and their equipment arrived at 8.30 am and everything was cleaned up and taken away by 5 pm !
Big chunk out of our bank account... but a necessary expense.
Today Bob was willing to head out to the annual craft show in Independence. It is held in a four story building that used to be a power plant ( coal fired electrical one). Now it houses all sorts of social activities such as meetings, exercising, a theater for plays and so. There is even a green house on the top floor.
We were looking for gifts for friends, siblings and so ... and a chance to see friends who have booths. We were about half successful!
I told myself that going to the show would be an adequate replacement for a trip to the gym... and it was. Managed to make it up and down all four floors... no elevator for me!!
Going to give another show a try on Sunday ... food trucks, coffee and crafts... hope to find some interesting stuff for the Christmas boxes. It's being held in a bee farm so maybe??

Walking a show is miles and miles. I used to wear a pedometer, and learned I walked as little as twelve miles in a weekend, and as much as twenty...just tending my booth.
