My Back Door House.

Welcome 

 to my little country cottage. 

As most country homes go, 

everyone enters by the back door.

I tell people 

that the first time they visit 

they're company, 

but the second time they're family.

If everyone enters by the back door, 

you do want your back entrance 

 to look pretty.

I go one step further. 

When friends make a second visit

I start showing them the cupboard

 where the glasses are,

 the cupboard where the coffee cups are,

and

 I let them know there's usually something

 cold to drink in the refrigerator

and

if they are lucky there might be cookies.

 

Then I say, since you are now family,

 help yourself. 

That sure makes having company 

a lot easier. 🥰😁

I think it makes people 

 feel more at home as well.

🍁☺️🍁☺️🍁

So if you ever come 

knocking on my door, 

Remember first time you're company, 

next time you're family☺️

Oh, I almost closed the post 

without these last two photos.

This was the largest trunk 

from the trees cut down 

last week.

49 inches in diameter. 

I had no idea they were that big.

Well that's my post. 

Thank you for visiting. 

God bless you all. 

You're blogging sister,

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 :)
