I am not a huge fan of bright and early, truth be told I am not a fan of bright and a little bit later either! I usually cannot put full sentences together until about 11:00am. Morning just isn’t my thing. I was really enjoying my slumber this morning…I mean really really enjoying it! Charis is a bit under the weather and woke up a lot during the night but she had fallen back asleep and was snoozing soundly. I am getting to the part in this pregnancy where it is really hard to get cozy and sleep so I was really happy about my slumbering self this morning. I was so warm and cozy and asleep! Then it all began…the doorbell rang and I jolted up thinking everyone knows not to ring the doorbell in the morning. I decided that it was not important and turned back over trying to go back to sleep when it rang again. I was frustrated and just so hoping that Charis would not wake up. I got myself out of bed and to the window to see that there was a tree cutting service at my neighbors house. Now someone was pounding on the front door so I pulled myself together and ran down stairs to find no one at the door. I went outside to find the tree guys working away. I asked them what they needed and they just wanted permission to get in our backyard to help with the tree cutting. So nice of them to ask but please feel free to wonder into my backyard anytime especially early in the morning without asking. The guy that I was speaking with started to look at me and made it to my feet to see that they were bare. He asked why I did not have shoes on. Without attacking him I just said well you were franticly pounding on my door so I thought that it might be an emergency. I promptly turned around and went back inside. I was pondering bed again when I heard all the chainsaws start up and the wood chipper kick on. I just sat on the bed for a bit awaiting Charis’s awakening as everything was so loud I knew it would just be a matter of time. She was a little concerned about the sounds and kept asking if there was a train outside. I took her to the door and showed her the wood chipper and then to the window to show her the tree they were removing out back. The crew made quick work but we were already up and at em’ by this point in time. The backyard just isn’t the same anymore and almost looks odd! Our neighbor had a huge Bradford Pear Tree removed and in all honesty it really did need to come down as the top was starting to split and if it fell on the fence that would of been a hassle. With the large tree gone though our back corner now has light which it has not seen in probably 13 years or so. We have two trees in that back corner that are extremely crooked as they were just trying to get to the light. It did not look so odd with the huge tree there but with it gone now we have these wacky sideways growing trees. I guess we will be calling the tree service now but maybe we will add a little note not to come until later in the day!
