NO Sewing Today

Not one bit...not one stitch...didn't even make it upstairs. When we were having coffee this morning My Man decided that today was the day to trim the 11 oak trees around our house. They are probably 4-1/2 years old and we've trimmed them every year trying to get them into a nice shape...I think this is the last year that we'll be doing this. We trimmed up enough from the under side so that no more branches are hanging over either the sidewalk or the street. Here's what we ended up with after working for about 5 hours...we ended up with all of these bundles of limbs and branches plus several bags of little pieces...we have to bundle everything up for the garbage men or they won't take it...no branches longer than 6 feet...no bundles over 20 pounds...and after all our work I don't want them to leave anything behind.

So tomorrow, you'll find my upstairs sewing away...I hope...unless My Man gets another idea.

A very productive day for you and your Man!

I haven't accomplished one thing today - oh wait, I took a four hour nap. LOL

A lot of work, but it will be well worth it in beautifully shaped trees *s*

I think you and your Man have done yourselves proud. I'm sure the trees are very happy now. Was your sewing machine crying for you that day?
