Hey, do you remember that tree that fell into our garage, it's still not fixed! but when the tree fellas (there were more than 3 of them!) came to clean up the fallen tree they told us they were going to come back and clean up all the dead trees in my other neighbors yard, the one we've been complaining to about his dead trees. He didn't want the wood from those trees so the tree guys offered it to us and we said yes.
Well, shoot that was a lot of wood and then we needed to split and stack it. There is a time I would have done all that myself, but I've run a wood splitter for a day and don't need to get that achievement award anymore so we paid the tree fellas (two this time) to come do it. 3 solid days of work later and we have about 9 cords of wood which should last us for about 5 years!
Meanwhile, down the hill at the new house, the Canadian Dogwood tree is in full effect and looking lovely. This tree was planted by Jo who built our house, he was a contractor and our house is the house he built for himself to live in, no wonder it's awesome. When his wife sold us the house she told us that she'd really like us to keep this tree so here we are trying to keep the tree around. It's lovely.
And he's a phone picture of some of the other crazy stuff growing in our garden. There's so much weird and wonderful plants growing around, I love looking at them all.
Thursday morning was an especially nice sunrise so I popped out on the balcony and took a picture for you. You're welcome!

Nature and stuff
I used to love all the nature at our old house, we even made a field guide of all the stuff we saw there. We've been too busy at the new house to do a full evaluation but have found a few things on the way. Check out this sunrise! I took that picture from out balcony!
And while the garage is being remodeled we've had to have the door open for a few nights. Guess who came to visit us!? Mr Raccoon! neato!
Here is a bird of paradise that's growing right outside our front door. The landscaping and flora here is lovely we'll have to try and keep it up!
And the cats are settling in nicely, although they'll miss the boxes once they're all gone (not quite there yet!)

Sunflowers are looking up!
The sunflowers are looking up this year! They're at 6ft right now and don't even have their yellow and black heads on yet. Here's hoping they survive before the gophers/rabbits come over and eat them!
