I honestly didn't think the tree guy was going to show up today, but not only did he show up (half an hour late) but he came with a helper. Between the two of them, they got everything done except for two small trees that can easily be done another time. (And had it not started to rain, those last two trees probably would have been done today.)
I didn't think they would be here for the entire day, but they're not exactly fast workers..... plus they kept having to stop to hitch up their jeans. The process went something like this: cut two branches, put down the saw, pull up the jeans.... cut another two or three branches, put down the saw, pull up the jeans..... repeat, repeat, repeat... for the entire day. Give me a blessed break.
Note to the tree guys: BUY A BELT to hold up your jeans!
It can't be just me....... I think every blessed slow-thinking and slow-moving handyman has been on this property at one time or another. Do they all settle into the country? Or does the slow pace of the country create slow workers? (To be fair, handyman W was not slow, and always showed up on time.)
But on the bright side..... they showed up, the work is done, they carted all the branches to the brush piles, which will be very much appreciated by all the birds and small animals out there in the fields. And wonder of wonders, I was able to cross off four items on my ever-growing "to-do" list.
