I had another project. Well, two projects. The first was the Catalpa tree. It was leaning over the sidewalk. Not good on a rainy day. It's begun to grow over it you compare last year and this.
I had a helper!
Back at it Friday. Two hours later, I'd discharged both battery packs for the reciprocal saw, and gave up for the day. I'd missed lunch, felt thirsty and light-headed, and decided to stop. The kids were coming over and I had a plan.
I ended up being really close to just shoving it over. Wrapping a nylon rope around it, Jo and Aster pulled it over for me. They hauled it down the driveway for me, and here we are. People should realize, when planting trees, how big they get near the house.
🐟Aquarium Repairs <= the saga!
Our work done, we are giving my old computer to Jo's friend. They made sure it was wiped clean, and good to go.
Dinner over, we did Close Eyes. I'd bought Jo a macro lens kit for a Smart Phone. I have a small kit, but I got the deluxe kit for them, as I knew they would have a blast with it. It's made by Selvim, and this is how I've been taking my macro photos. Jo had asked for a macro lens for Christmas and I explained that they were about $500. Both of these were $80.
JL, back from a quick trip to Las Vegas, had a nap, then did the BBQ and dinner. It was terrific.
We watched the COPA soccer game, what a game.
The dock spider was watching from outside. Nutmeg wanted a little ME time.

Great photos, Cinnamon is a cutie!
Take care, have a wonderful week!
Great tree removal! Just think how much you saved from those professional tree removal guys! Loved your calendar page for July!
Cinnamon looks ready to take that tree down! Nice family time :)
Good times with family.
Looks lovely! Glad kitty didn't get tangled in the camera strap; she's so exhausted from supervising. Have a jolly time with the girls. Linda in Kansas
I don't know how you manage to accomplish so much in the heat.
Busy, busy, busy. But productive. And yay for family time.
What a great logger you are!
You are a lumberjack taking care of trees!
It's hard to get rid of a tree, but you're right that a tree too close to the house causes all kinds of problems.
I've never seen a lens kit like that before... I'll be looking into one of those as a Christmas present possibility. Thx!
