Going through family pictures....

Recently my mother in law gave Romeo a wheel of slides to convert into digital images so, as I was going through them I started thinking how simple life was in the 60s. The women all took pride in their appearance wearing beautiful color coordinated suits, their hair styles perfectly done, and their children always in their Sundays best...

















Kids actually played outside with neighbors for hours...no Internet, no video games, no cell phones..

















Christmas time remains the same family,food and fun....

Tree pruning

One of the first things I wanted to tackle was my trees.. I think the appearance of your trees enhances the natural beauty of your landscape and gives it its unique character.
The trees were out of shape,overgrown, and were obstructing the views of the house from the curb.
















All together we pruned 4 trees, got rid of one,(a crooked olive tree 2 ft from Live Oak) and cut 2 palm trees full of carpenter ants...

















This is the only part that tenses me up!..I had a choice pay extra to hall it or wait for the city of Weslaco to come ( which the man strongly encouraged) We'll see how long it take to hall it away...
