Smart people

June 30, 2009 by tina.

Today, I got up close and personal with the reasons that smart people pay someone else to trim their trees and hedges. Lance and I trimmed and loaded and picked up leaves and sticks for 5 hours. (Fortunately, someone decided to turn off the summer today so it wasn’t like we could have done any sun worshiping.) The trimming, of course, isn’t so bad. Pick out the branches that hang too low to mow under, hang over the deck or the roof, died three years ago…cut those bad boys off, hope the kids are clear of the action, and move on to the next one. But then, when your children wise up to what you’re asking them to do and disappear on their bikes, you are left to load up the branches and take them to the yard waste site, and worst of all, there are countless sticks and multitudes of leaves lying around making your yard look like tornado season in Kansas. And they are all at ground level.

Professionals would have taken the mess away with them.
