No More Raking Leaves For Me

   

There has been so much
going on . . .
Only this time I'm not doing
the work.
I'm just watching.


Here you can see the trees 
out front . . .



All four are gone now.

Sending out a few photos
of the progress
of removing my trees.



Here you can see the rot
in one of the trunks. 
That hole is almost a foot
in diameter.




Here he is in my neighbor's
driveway lifting these huge
logs over the fence
to load them onto his truck
and haul away.  








Then He moved to the otherside 
of the yard and I had him take
all the dead and low branches 
out of my pine trees.



It sure looks different 
around here . . .
in the background you can 
still see a pile of tree
branches on the ground.
Something on his clipper
broke and we're waiting
on the part to finish 
the clean up.

Poor guy he was so upset.
We were both wanting to complete
this job that evening :)


Good thing is  . . .
this job is no more :)

Have a lovely week
my friends,
&
God Bless You All

Good Bye Sweet Friends


Trees are like old friends

and it's sad to see them go . . .

but sometimes it's the right thing.





They have gotten to a point
where it is dangerous 
to leave them up.

One good storm and they
could take out our's
or the neighbor's house.
   







All of this mess is from
one tree  . . .
one down and three to go. 

On my next post 
I'll send you and after
photo. 🥲

Until then . . .
God bless you all.
 
Your blogging sister,
Connie :)

Giving The Living Room A bit Of Autumn Flair



 It's that time of the year.

The days are cooling down

&

thoughts of Autumn fill our

create minds. 



My decorating juices started flowing

after stopping at Ross' and purchasing 

these two burnt orange throw pillows.




I think they look great

on my new navy sofa

and they match well

with the sunflower

quilt I made last year.





Next I went out to 

the shop and got down

my plastic storage box

of autumn decor

and started tweaking 

the living room. 






This beautiful blue glass
pumpkin was a birthday present
from a dear sweet friend. 






 

I like to remind myself

of this . . .

Jesus went to that cross

to save me and to wash away

my sin . . . I didn't deserve it,

but He loved me enough

to do it. 


Have a lovely weekend.

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
