2. The trees in a forest whose crowns constitute this layer.
This morning, sunrise at 7:14 am - spectacular!
This past Monday, our tree crew arrived to take down a small oak which
had died, remove large branches from the oaks overhanging the roof, plus
do a lot of pruning of smaller branches and tidying up of the now
aging trees around the perimeter of the cottage.
The now bare fig tree on right of the photo was not touched.
The guys arrived as planned around 7:45 am.
Fortunately the weather cooperated. Showers were forecast but never appeared,
it was quite warm with only a slight breeze. We were grateful that a crane was not
required. . . . .the bucket truck and some acrobatic climbing worked well.

Thanks Ian, Josh and Adam - you were all charming, polite and very nice to work
with. We really appreciated all you did to make the garden look better.
You have made me feel a lot safer with those large, dangerous branches
gone from above my roof. . . . . . and my head when walking outside!
This great local company Leaf & Limb have trained arborists who work
to save entire trees, not just chop them down and drag them away.
We do love our old trees and will save as many as possible.

Hope you are all having a great start to this new year and decade.
I'll be back here soon to catch up with everyone.
