The problem is, all those old stumps and roots continue to sprout like crazy. Nothing is more persistent than cottonwood, and in a few years we would be totally overgrown and the river view would become a tree view.
The last two summers, I've been picking away at it with my lady-like hand pruners, which is pretty silly. The valley is full of "tree control" companies. So maybe next year I'll have someone out. Unlike Seattle, you don't need a permit here to prune your own trees.
That healthy young cottonwood tree the beaver cut down for no apparent reason just disappeared. Maybe someone threw it in the river?
A mini cold front blew through yesterday, a red flag windy day, but so far not hearing of any new wildfires, fingers crossed. It also brought the temperature back down into the comfortable 80's today.
The days pass quickly, especially the lovely mornings which I hate to waste staring at a computer screen. I'm not doing much except driving the girls to this and that, which I enjoy because it's one time we get to talk. They are very busy as you world expect with their friends and activities. Tonight, we're all going to a swim meet in Okanagan, about an hour away.
