Respectable
Today the Christmas tree came down and went back to its lair in the garage. Benny worried about my tree. The Netzer tree, of course, as with all other things Netzer, was properly managed at the correct time. The other day Benny tried to talk me into taking down my tree saying, "Let's do it. I'll help." I thanked him but decided to leave the tree to someone able to hoist its sections apart. That thing weighs a ton. Today Lydia took apart the tree and William, my yard worker, stored the tree in the garage.
William happened to be here locked in mortal combat with the area at the side of the house. It is full of roots and little stumps. Today William was determined that all stumps and roots would go byebye. He was out there excavating and sawing and chopping and hammering most of the day. In places he dug up the area so deeply that he was down in a hole well over his knees. I assured him that he needn't take the job so seriously but having begun to get rid of the stumps and roots, he persevered.
So the Christmas tree is gone and the ground is getting prepared for spring planting. Looking more respectable all the time, here.
