July 6, 2011 If a Tree Falls in the Backyard....

In our backyard, there are 3 fruit trees: 2 apple trees and 1 pear tree.

We. Hate. Them.

Rotten fruit on the ground. Branches that hang down and knock CB in the head when he mows. Dead limbs. Rotten fruit. On the ground.

We. Hate. Them.

Now, after 7 years, we have decided to have the damn things chopped down. For $200.


Take a look at the 2 trees to the right of the wood pile. This may be the last picture they are ever in.

Lest the tree huggers of the world get their panties in a bunch, we are going to plant a wonderful Blue Spruce tree. A tree that does not bear fruit. That falls to the ground. And rots.

Our backyard already looks 3 times bigger. It's awesome!

The tree chopper guy told me he felt like a murderer cutting down the apple tree.

I think that's a little weird, don't you?
