Thursday Tale: Tree Monkeys Returneth

You will probably remember this photo from our post on Saturday 2/28/15 about

the falling pine tree limb barely missed Gracie our Highlander on Thursday 2/26/15.

As soon as the peeps saw this on Thursday morning, they were on the phone calling 

the Tree Monkeys to get on their schedule to have the offending trees removed

Well lo and behold the peeps are very good customers to the tree monkeys

They came to our house Saturday morning....and they were noisy.

They came with a chipper machine shown below.

OMCs you would not want your paws to get caught in that thing.

It actually ate up and spit out huge sections of trees and limbs

 They were very efficient and

 I was happy to see one of the Tree Monkey's had

impressive climbing skills.  He made this climb look easy!!

During the entire ordeal I sat right here....cause I knew Mom had my back

but I was ready to scurry if need be.

 In spite of the cold and miserable conditions, mom really loved how the

ice formed on the bird feeder domes.  She said it reminded her of 

old fashioned lamp shades with crystals hanging from the shades

Yay mom she always tries to see the beauty in things.

We are thrilled to say the last pine trees that could potentially threaten our house

are now gone.  The yard looks rather pathetic but we'll plant some pretty flowering trees like
dogwoods and crepe myrtles this spring to fill in the gaps.
