A Little Off the Top

Sylvia was visiting us for a week--checking out the new kitchen, seeing dear old friends, visiting her #2 son.  Though she was busy with errands for friends or dinner with other friends, she still found time to do a bit of our heavy gardening.  I came home from work to find this: 

Tree Debris

One of the trees had grown too big.  It was pushing one of the crepe myrtles over too much, and not allowing anything to grow underneath (which is probably why we have a mud pit at the end of the path).

So, she hacked away at it.  Will helped too, but I think that was more with the clean up of the debris.  And you can see that there is a fair amount of it.  

The trees have been sufficiently trimmed back and in the summer, we will enjoy the new growth--hopefully of the tree itself but of the grass that we will now plant to help with the mud pit.
