Oh My!

                 Oh my goodness...what has happened to the garden! It looks like total destruction...



Has a hurricane blown through? No, we don't have hurricanes in California...


Maybe a tornado...but I don't think they happen much here either.


It almost looks like a huge giant thrashed through looking for something...anyone seen Jack? I had a feeling nothing good would come from those beans.



Oh my...what could it possibly be to cause all of this...


Aha! Why it is only the annual tree pruning at Rose Arbors. What a relief.

This is how the garden looked last week after the tree pruning and before all the trimmings were cleaned up, shredded, and dispersed. I am happy to tell you that and things are now back to normal.


And this is the little machine that helped take care of all the mess. (Thank you Tom, you did your usual artistic and excellent job...see you and your little friend again next year).

    That reminds me I need to do some of that myself this year. I can hardly get the lawn mower under some of ours

    Things must get worse before they get better, as you know from my messy renovation photos! But oh the glory of a nice trimmed garden or lovely organized drawer and doors and closets!

    Can't wait to see the finished product! My landscaping is all finished now...It looks so much better!

    Boy could I use one of those handy little machines here on the farm. We never seem to get all the pruning, trimming and disposal done, because we do everything the old fashioned way - by hand.
