We did, however, spend more time in the AM going through the storage cabinets in the garage and finding more "material" for the dumpster and for the charities. That was a breeze compared to Tuesday's effort.
The landscaper arrived at around 1 PM and began the task of pruning the trees and fertilizing them. He did the largest two trees but had to leave early before completing his effort because of an emergency family issue. He will return sometime next week to complete the third tree, prune the agave and clean up the yard. He did a terrific job on the main trees and these shots will provide an idea of the extent of his effort.
Starting with the "before" shots of the main trees:
The "during" of the two big trees:
and the "after" shots:
The nice thing about the trees after he was through is that we can now pick fruit from inside the tree as well as the outside. He cleared all the deadwood from the inside and we can actually climb the inside if necessary to reach fruit.
Patty will spend most the day today at ASU with Jordan helping him to get around to places to get a haircut, shop and do other errands. We will probably see him again this evening if he can come home with Patty for the night. Tomorrow, Patty leaves for home and we will probably drop Jordan off at the campus on the way to the airport.
Oh, and we went out to dinner last night at Oregano's Italian Restaurant and celebrated both Patty's birthday and mine. It was delicious, as usual...
