~Tree Work~

After I posted yesterday I was in my bedroom

watching TV and heard a VERY familiar sound.. I

went to the living room to look outside to see where

the noise was coming from.. The sound was a chain

saw and the guys across the street were taking down

a limb that had broken off and part was on the roof

of their house. I watched them and some of the things

they did scared me for fear they would hurt them

selves let alone damage their house !

follow the ladder, then the clothesline, to where the limb broke...
They got it all done, took them a couple hours.. The one

guy held the rope as the other had the chain saw.. What

kinda worried me is the guy with the saw used a ladder

to climb up the tree, when he stood at the bottom he

started up the Chainsaw, THEN climbed the ladder.. I

don't think THAT really was a good idea, some have

been known to slip.. and he was not tied in at all.. The

blade on the saw was at least 2 foot or longer. He

didn't really handle the saw safely and the rope they

used was a clothes line.. now, if a limb over a foot

across was to fall.. that clothes line would NOT hold

that huge limb... They were lucky.. But it saved having

a tree guy come out.. which to take that limb off? I

would say Willie would have charged $150.oo maybe

more.. He could have used the bucket truck we had

and that limb would have been down in seconds.. Just

one correct cut and it would have been dropped..
The guys across took the limb off in stages, which

for them was the safe way.. But an experienced tree

guy, could have dropped that big limb right where he

wanted. And he wouldn't have used a ladder to get

to it. The ladder was necessary though to get to the

roof of the house where a lot of branches were. It

was lucky that part that broke off didn't go totally

or it would have gone through that roof... Was kinda

fun to watch.. For a small quiet town, there is always

something going on... Wait till this summer...
During the summer is when all the magicians gather

here for shows and conferences to see all the new

magic things there are.. From what I gather its

quite busy here. Most of the shows are put on right

here at the high school.. which if you look at the

house with the tree to the right you can see the high

school, that's how close it is to me.. I could get over

there very easily.. Only thing I would worry about

is getting run over by a car !! :-) But I will go to some

of them, from what Joe says the shows they put on

here are quite something. :-)
Penny came and got us ready for the week end.. Wasn't

a lot to do.. We didn't mess up too badly from our guests

so was just basic stuff to do.. My sister called last nite

and said she found some burgundy sheer curtains on sale

at Wal Mart and she got every pair they had for me.. I

have 2 windows with burgundy curtains, and 2 with white

curtains, I would like ALL my windows to be the same..

I have a feeling she may come up tomorrow. I hope so.

I still have to call her today and see if she has some

canvas that I need to make this bird watcher bag... I

am sure she does..

Time to post and then have lunch.. Dunno what I want

though. I will look and see what I have that I feel like

having and then I might wait to see what the COA is

bringing.. the suppers are great.. This week sure went

fast.. R & R, Jim phoned he was gonna come by yesterday

and set up a time.. then he called back and said his boss

said to not come here and they would send someone

else next week.. I don't understand why but.. I now have

to wait till next week to get this chair fixed.. Seems
all this GORGEOUS WEEBLE does is WAIT... oh well,

if its a good thing, its worth waiting for.. been waiting

for my "g'day, g'day" to end this? I'm done .. for today.

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? love ya and thanks!
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again.
