PURE AND SIMPLE OVERKILL

Here is an after shot of the tree on the other side of my garage. I went mad crazy with my loppers and lawn bags. The branches were touching the ground and I could stand up underneath them. It was the perfect hiding place for "The Bad Man".
I forgot to take a before shot. As a matter of fact, I had forgotten that side all together. That's when I went mad crazy. I was lopping branches so fast just trying to get finished. Then I had to gather them and cut them down for the lawn bags.
It wasn't until I decided to take a picture I realized what overkill I had just committed. I hope this tree has a forgiving spirit.

Why do I have pictures of Edward Sizorhand going crazy on the trees and then I look and it is just Manny. The timing may not be good for the trim but I am sure everything will turn out in the end.

Manny said...

Barman-Yea! That scissorhands guy. I just went mad crazy.

tc-A video would've been priceless. I don't even want to think of how I was looking while I was out there giving the tree a 'talking to'. LOL

Come to think of it, the elderly gentleman across the street hasn't waved to me since.

Umm...Candy, you have far too much energy. This was the proper time to trim and I repeat trim (not shear) your tree. She will make it, but she will be upset for at least a year.

Someone stop her with those loppers!

That tree will never mouth off again. Or live,either, I guess! ha!
Rock on!

Manny said...

sign-I know, right. I forgot about that side. I was walking around to get to my garage and it was just standing there...laughing at me. I was sooo tired and all I wanted was to get finished.

Rex-Nor will it ever laugh at me again.
