A haircut for the palm tree.
Seagull approved...
Some expert trimming on the cypress.
The start of a (relatively) low maintenance 10-foot hedge.
My new tree company was here at 7 am! yesterday and finished by 10. That must be a record. It's always a relief having that job done for the year. They brought a giant bucket truck with a crane and a big wood chipper, along with four strong men with chain saws, hedge cutters and ladders. That might sound like overkill for a suburban yard, but they hauled out an astonishing volume of vegetation.
All good things must come to an end-- by that, I mean this unprecedented stretch of fabulous fall weather. The high pressure ridge that's been dominating the weather pattern in the West is slowly breaking down, opening the back door to a series of wet systems lined up the the Pacific. But that's for next week.
We have another sunny weekend to enjoy (after the fog burns off) and are looking forward to seeing our friend Mark, who is driving up from Portland for an overnight visit. Maybe one more dinner on the grill before I get out the cover for the winter.
