Professional Pruning
I rarely resort to hiring help in the garden but I'm learning that sometimes it is wise to do so and worth every penny. Case in point - some hideous out-of-control trees that were beyond my ability to deal with. If I were smarter, I would have tackled these issues from the beginning but I didn't know better. The first is a pear tree that was planted along the back fence line. I've worked on this for the past several years, every year with the intent of reducing the height or possibly removing it altogether.

Another yummy recipe. I hope you and Michael are enjoying turkey day. I too don't mind the dark dreary outside world when the inside world is full of love and fun. Happy Thanksgiving.

DeleteNo biscuits, please. Give it a try with just cornbread. You may need to add a little broth along as it cooks or at least that is what Momma did so of course that is what I do.
