Good morning to you from The Don here in Hewitt Texas. I am here at the homestead entering data on this computer wondering why I am not dictating instead of typing. Also, I do not take Alex to school today as his father is off work and will take him.
The truth will set you free! I now have the truth, and I will tell you about it, it is odd that I will even admit that I might have been wrong. In my statement the other day I had a brown spot on my hand and I told you that I was using a tool that was in the shed that had not been used for years and that it stained my hand brown. Well, that stain has gone away and yesterday I learned the true meaning of where that stain came from. You will see later in this wonderful posting the work that my grandson and I did yesterday and while doing that work, I discovered the reason my hand was brown last week.
Last week while removing debris from the front yard, I had picked up a couple pecans and I'd carried them in my right hand while I was picking up other debris. Yesterday while working in the front yard, I picked up a couple more pecans that the squirrels had dropped and carried them over and put them in the trash. Later as I looked at my hands, I noticed that these pecans would turn your hands brown and no, you don't wash it off it wears off. Now you know the truth a pecan stained my hand last week.
Yesterday's work defined: yesterday after lunch Alex came over and we worked on removing a tree. This is the soft-shell pecan tree that I had planted years ago and if there were no squirrels taking all the pecans from that tree, we would have kept the tree. Due to the squirrels taking all the pecans last year and this year again, I decided that I would not feed the squirrels anymore and we would remove the tree.
I had thought that I would take a picture of the tree before we started and then the area afterwards, but I failed to take a picture at the beginning, we were partially done when I got the pictures, photos to follow.
The first 3 pictures show the work we were doing; we had already cut down half of the limbs off the tree when I took the first pictures. That's Alex our yard man working. The third photograph shows the area after we cleaned up and moved the trailer away, we were done the tree was gone. I will provide a couple more photos for my enjoyment.
In the above photos we see the first photo of Alex still working on the tree and this is a perspective from where I normally sit in the afternoon. The second photo is also from where I normally sit in the afternoon, but the yard is cleaned up. As you can see the third photo is of the loaded trailer which will be hauled off on the next limb and trash day, yes, it is loaded. Alex did a really good job working there, yes, I helped.
Today's possible events: do as little as possible and stay out of trouble. I need to look at the backyard as it has not been mowed yet so I might have to do that. Old people have to work all the time. Our Bible study does start this evening, so I need to prepare for that.
Well, I'm going to attempt to stop for now. We hope you have a very good day and that we all stay safe in all we do.
Tree trimmers Alex and The Don
