A new look

Yesterday we did some more yard work. Yes, it was awful weather most of the day. And yes, we were out in it most of the day. For some reason, my husband thinks that home improvement projects....no....OUTSIDE home improvement projects about 15minutes before bad weather hits. Before the morning weather (very hard rain, freezing wind), Mark decided that we needed to build another fence. So we went out and built a fence, in the pouring rain. The rain stopped a while and so we went inside and did some house work. (Does that seem backwards?) Mark came in (because he was still outside working) and said he had started a NEW project outside. Raich and I went outside to find that the tree out front,the one I have wanted to chop down since we moved in, had been trimmed. MY HUSBAND IS AWESOME! He made that tree look so much better. I actually think it could stay now. We just have to do some landscaping underneath it, but it definitely changes the entire look of the house. Here are some pictures. If any of you don't remember what it looked like before, the branches went all the way down to the ground and went several feet out in the driveway.

Kyle,

Tree wars were going on under that tree. Scores of small trees and shrubs were threatening the big tree. Basically, we sided with the most powerful and destroyed the weak and vulnerable.
