Over the last few days I had ninety trees trimmed on my land. Phew! It looks so clean and beautiful now. It's amazing how alive the property feels with all of that dead wood removed. I stayed home and kept an eye on the workers. It was exciting to see the men complete the contract. They are very dedicated.
One of the pluses from all that trimming is that I now have lots of firewood to burn this winter. They stacked it neatly in piles for me. I have been carrying it up to the cabin and gazing at the crackling flames each morning and evening. I hung my mom's feminine lace curtains in the window next to the brick fireplace. Flanked by a 1920's hand painted antique lamp, it is a really artistic look. I just love the old styles. I've never gotten into the modern decor that is popular now.
The smaller branches were put into the chipper and spread as mulch. The supervisor told me that my trees are healthier and greener than many of the ones that they do, because I water and mulch them regularly. It means extra time and effort, but is so worth it. As I water in sections, I keep an eye on my trees and all that is happening. That's important when you own land.
