They're Gone!

It's taken almost two years but the trees that we no longer wanted are gone. Four long-needled pines and a cedar tree. Thanks to Rob King and Chadds Ford Tree Service our back yard now looks bigger and less cluttered. For years Frank has had problems with the cedar tree; it was too close to the house and the droppings clogged the rain gutters and stained the roof. The pine trees were choking out the lilac bush -- it was close to death but now will get plenty of light and may actually bloom this year!

When I came home tonight my kitchen seemed brighter. Seems as though that big old cedar tree was blocking lots of sunlight.

I can't wait to get all of those pine needles cleared and plant some nice bright forsythia bushes. The side of our yard will look so pretty now.
