Good grief…………………where does the time go? It’s THAT time again isn’t it………I suppose I need to be ready for it………..it rolls around once a week whether I like it or not. I’m thinking this week it will be over before I know it. Why? We have an arborist coming this morning at 9AM so Mom and Dad will want the house cleaned BEFORE then. That means it will be a “quick clean” – my favorite kind!
The monster comes out of the closet – does a fast tour of the kitchen, dining room and living room before sliding into the library and bathroom – then back in it goes – all of that is happening simultaneous to Dad upstairs using the other monster to hit the guest room, bathroom, Mom’s office, Dad’s office, the hallway, Mom and Dad’s bedroom AND the master bath. Whew! I’m exhausted just THINKING about it all.
Then the house will be DONE for another week………….whew! I guess my work here is done – all I had to do today is stay out of the way and just LOOK like I was gonna help……tee hee…..I fooled ya Mom!
Just watching them is exhausting!
Yes Mom….we know how you feel about it all…..
We’ll let you know what the Arborist
says about our Leyland cypress trees –
remember, the trees the landscape guy said
needed to ALL be WHACKED DOWN??????
HA! We’ll just see about that!!!!!

I’m glad the monster is back in his cave… it was here too … but I attacked it with the handbrush…. sadly the handbrush is KIA now… but at least my momma has still the dustpan :o)

Hi Austin! I hope the Arborist can answer our questions IN THE RAIN because yet again we’re WET over here. There’s a SLIGHT chance (which translates to “don’t hold your breath”) that we may see some actual SUN this afternoon but this morning we’ll be slopping around in puddles when the Arborist is here.

All that cleaning happened yesterday here because the little bipeds are here on Fridays. As soon as Mom finishes, she says OK, that’s that for today, but I will have to do it all again in another day with all this shedding going on:) We think she might have been referring to us.
Hope the arborist has better news for your Mom and Dad.

The arborist was a very nice lady who knew her stuff and she’s putting together a plan that can be over time to fix/address the tree issues. The BIGGEST thing was that she said other than the totally dead ones, the others need some TLC but will be OK for several more years. That’s good news……….!
As for cleaning – thank heavens it’s done here and because I don’t shed (much) I’ll be able to keep it in decent shape for Mom and Dad for another week…………probably………..maybe…………hopefully.

Rain Rain Go Away Come Again Some Other Day (and on some other planet!)…………SO tired of rain. Ours has managed to stop for now although it’s still cloudy. That’s a fair compromise…..for now anyway! The Arborist was a nice lady who knows her stuff and while the DEAD trees do need to come down, the others need some major trimming/pruning but she believes there’s no big hurry to replacing them. This is good news! Dad’s happy (so is his wallet)!

The arborist was wonderful….she really knew her “stuff”……..she thinks the leylands have more years in them and do NOT need to be taken down – at least now. She recommended removing the five totally dead ones ( which we were gonna do anyway) then doing some pruning/trimming of the others and she did not think they were diseased – just old and huge. The ones on the shady side of the house are in the worst shape…..what we’ll do is EVENTUALLY replace them with another screening shrub or small(er) tree. The plan can be done in stages too so it’s easier on my Dad’s wallet! She’s going to give us an estimate on everything. Mom and Dad were very happy with what she had to say!

Sammy mom’s complaint about cleaning is that as soon as she finishes dusting a room she sees more kitty furs!!! I think since our furs are close to the same color and she has to have corrective lens she is probably seeing her own furs.
