We had some fun entertainment during breakfast this morning. A city crew came by with a bucket truck to trim the trees on the south side of the house. There is no sidewalk on that side, and the trees are technically the city's responsibility because they are in the city easement. I found out that also means that when it's time to take them down, the city will pay for it. Yay! Unfortunately, that might come sooner than we want. Two of the trees are 60-year-old Ash trees that have seen better days. Between that and the Emerald Ash Borer that just entered the most northeastern county in Iowa, it might only be another couple years. In the meantime, it was nice to get some of the droopy branches cut off and a large one that was touching the house. The crew also trimmed off an annoying low branch from the locust tree while they were at it. (The only downside is now we have a full view of the redneck neighbors' house across the street :op) They put all the branches through a wood chipper and even raked the yard afterwards. Plus they took away the pile of branches that had collected over the winter. All for free!

I am all caught up! I love your hallway and it looks so clean and fresh. You did a great job. I think those doll strollers are the best and most played with toy of all. They work for every kid from toddlers to older kids.
