It was chilly today in the 40's. The sun was out so the wildlife at least had that. I finally called the lawnmower guy today and asked about my mower, which he picked up for maintenance 3 weeks ago. He said it's done and he has to get it back to me, probably tomorrow. I think his business is expanding a bit and he's not yet at the point of trusting the new folks with drop off and pick ups. This is unusual for him - I usually get the mower back within a week.

@Bird mama After 83 degree weather this week, today was cooler, the perfect type of day for gardening, so I did, the usual Spring weeding, and tossing plants that had died, made a vow not to replace anything that died, and just take care of what remains.
I have many huge trees that need pruning, but am quivering just imagining how much it will cost, thousands, I know that, but there are some huge branches over the roof and fireplace so they have to go. I usually tell the guy to prune only half way up the trees, removing dead branches, to do an entire tree would be bankrupting, and usually, there aren't dead on the upper half, that I can see.
Are you spending Easter with sister? Wishing youa lovely Easter day.

Yea tree maintenance is a costly proposition @mousiegirl The structural pruning on my silver maple out front set me back $1,200. I could see the main trunk of my tree was stressed because of one really large limb (?) that grew over the neighbor's driveway. She had a detached garage and when the winds come ripping across the field behind our houses, it raced down her driveway and was causing the limb to torque. This was the first time I saw a tree look almost bruised. The fear was that gusting winds would torque that limb one too many times and the tree would split down the middle. It's over 50 years old so I paid the money.
My black walnut could do with a trim. I'm considering doing privacy fence around the entire yard (versus just the weird neighbor side that I have now) and I'm debating taking 2 of the pines at the back of the yard down. I waffle back and forth on this because I don't want to cost any animals nesting habitat. For me the decision is almost a moral one.
My sister and I will be having Easter dinner at my house.
