My husband and I spent the weekend working on getting the tree debris under control here. We moved all the large stumps beside the fence and out of our direct walking path. I raked up all the sticks and most of the saw dust. Tore a tarp to pieces trying to carry the sawdust. Who knew it could be so heavy? We put in some more fence stakes so we could stack the big pieces to dry for our fire pit we have outside.
The next step was to finish pruning the big trees left in the yard. We have one tree with branches way too low so each year we have been gently nudging it backward. We then cut down our two small apple trees which succumbed to woolly aphids last year and where we are going to put our two new cherry trees.
The last thing on the agenda was the two girls and I raked up the rest of the leaves. We have an oak tree so it does not lose its leaves until the end of winter. I then used the garden rake to scratch up the bare areas and planted some grass seed. We are supposed to have several days of rain so hopefully we can get some started.
It was good to get a lot done over the weekend and before the rain started but have a long way to go.
