Well...here it is, our first tornado watch of the spring season...Isn't this the most beautiful rumbling sky...I just have the best views since I cut down some of the troublesome trees that freaked me out every storm season.
Chinese Elm trees...huge trees 3 feet in diameter swayed with the winds just feet away from my kitchen and living room, now I can rest in peace knowing the giants are gone and...
I can see the sky!
I have a project that I have been working on for years at the chateau aka shack...tree rows...
My six acres is filled with cedar trees and as you can see, the new 4-lane they built is maybe 100 feet from my back door...YUCK!!!
It was great for biz when we had the shop in the house, but now, it's a rumbling, smelly eyesore to this country girls eye...sooooo...
The chore begins...tree rows...
Planting the cedar wind/sound barrier is a matter of walking to the field and digging the seedlings and transporting back to site.
The plan is to hide me away, tucked in solitude in my own lil' nature preserve, where I can work and rest knowing the meanies are just on the other side of my secluson.
First thing yesterday morning I took some garbage bags out to the highway and started picking up the refuse the meanies leave behind...
OMG...
Three crammed bags later, I just want to sit next to the road and throw all of it back to the wretches driving by. The biggest share of the heap was plastic water/tea bottles...
are you kidding me...I couldn't walk 10 feet without finding one.
Beer bottles, pop cans, Styrofoam, cardboard, clothes, walmart bags...
What is it with people...THE MEANIES!!!
A spring morn over the strawberry patch out to my six acres of scrub and walnut trees...aka paradise...
More tree rows in the making, as me and my shadow gaze out the front door at the greening of Spring...Do you think a moat is too big of a project...
