Happy Monday to You All

That cedar situation was one of those “just in time” moments. It was massive and my son wanted it down for months since it was in the way of a parking area. We hated the idea of it coming down, but good thing it did. The inside of this massive tree was hollow and the top was top-heavy. They crew said it was severely hollowed all the way up and dangerous. With our extreme gusty winds, he said it could have gone down in the next huge storm. He said it was a time-bomb waiting to happen. The other pine across the property was slowly dying from the top down from age and stress, so it came down today as well. It had already lost half the top. In the parks where I host, we call these widow makers and keep an eye on them. It sure opened up space on the property. My son is out there there cutting down more alders - fast grow, fast go trees. They are very invasive here and fall fast since they don't root deep. I've been moving non-stop daily with hauling, planting, cleaning, food prepping, selling off excess inventory, dump runs, prepping my trailer for movement, trip to Oregon to buy a recliner and shop... Yesterday, my poor truck finally got a bath and a lot of mold off it. In our region, it's normal for green to grow on everything since it's a wetlands. Of course, mid-way, it began raining, but I kept going. I wanted to pop in and say happy Monday and hope everyone has been well. I'm headed to catch up.
