Our Tangled Mess

Well I finally got a chance to transfer these pics from my camera! I really wanted to take a ride in that bucket, but they claimed insurance wouldn't allow it- but it certainly looked like fun! The tree that is in the second picture had to be taken down completely, it couldn't be saved. The others will hopefully spring back to life. Except of course for the Bradford Pears. We lost several of them, but I know we can grow more of those fairly quickly.
I realize you guys might be tired of hearing me whine about my trees. I guess because there is still so much work to do, and that is all the excitement we have around here! I don't' remember the last time we went out- if time and weather permits- we're outside working in the yard! As I've said before, "It's the gift that keeps on giving". And we should have enough firewood for ages!!!
The only other news I can think of: Kris had a flute competition this morning and made a 2. A 1 is the best, but a 2 is good- and that's all I can explain about the scoring. My friend in Missouri had her baby 7 weeks early. Both were in ICU for a few days. My friend has got to go home, but the baby will have to be in ICU longer, until lung function is better. So extra prayers are great. And I should have a new little niece, at least by March 4th- if not sooner! I can't wait for that!!! And last, but not least, I should have a guest tonight- my big sister should be staying over for the night. So hopefully that will supply some fun and good conversation!
Well that is all I know, except that I'm incredibly tired and still have a mountain of work in front of me. So I hope everyone is doing well, and love to all - Darla
