How to shorten a tree… from the bottom

Dwight just posted about a tree he worked on at the university greenhouse where he volunteers. It was pushing against the roof, so it had to be shortened. They actually shortened the trunk itself, which I find amazing. Click through for a link to the post.

One Final Mow

One final mow. I abandoned the mower at the next-door neighbors’ house.

Try Finding This

Took photos for an instruction manual for our (almost former) house for the new owners. A stone slab hides this irrigation valve box.

A Full Bin

Once I filled The Brute with weeds, I fled on my bike to avoid seeing more yard interlopers. At least no weeds will be knee-high by the 4th.

Long Growing Season

Harvested kale for dinner tonight. This promises to be the longest growing season ever recorded.

Weeding

Thoroughly weeded the backyard. Later, I found more weeds hiding in plain sight.
