I trimmed "a" bush. It took me four hours. The bush is a HUGE forsythia bush that sits on the border between my house and peeping Tom. I had to put my ladder on his side for about an hour. I don't think they were home. Thank goodness. The neighbor before him would trim my bush whenever she saw fit. Because of this she had the bush growing all out of shape. Today I was able to get the shape back. It was a big job and CAL helped a lot. There were about five branches that I could not reach. He climbed up the bush and cut them. He is such a good boy.
My husband decorated my son's tree. This is the tree that we bought when CAL was first born. It stood about four feet tall. His poor tree has been moved three times. You would never know it. It is huge. I will try to take some pictures tomorrow. Anyway, it took my husband six hours to string the lights on the tree. I have no idea how he is going to do it next year. We will have to rent a "cherry picker" because this was definitely the last year for the ladder.
So what did you do today? I hope you had more fun that we did. It was hot and I was so grumpy by the time I was done.

that must have been one huge shrubbery!!
Are you a closet redneck, keeping Christmas lights on your property all year round?
The lights go on the tree while the weather is still nice and come off as soon as the weather breaks in the spring. The one year my husband tried to leave them on but the tree grows so much he was afraid it would damage the tree. Plus it looks terrible. I am a closet redneck for many other reasons though.
I can't remember what we did yesterday
I'm just dismayed that tomorrow is monday already
