Thank you Lumberjack/Ninja

by @ 8:03 pm. Filed under this old house

I was recently blessed with a random act of kindness.

Do you recall when the tree tried to eat my house. Well the other tree in the front yard has it out for my mail carrier. First I received a note from said postal worker stating that I needed to trim the tree so they could safely deliver my mail (the over hang was low enough that the branches scraped the roof of my car, point taken). I trimmed the tree and moved on with life.

Saturday I pulled out of the driveway to see UP! in 3D. The tree decided that it would take out the mailbox. Not cool.  I managed to move the mailbox into the garage and I was able to drag the giant tree limb onto the lawn.  Sunday I woke up early, to avoid the 100 degree weather, and moved the tree limb into the yard.  I had to saw it into a few pieces to make it light enough to drag around.  Eventually I would have to cut it into smaller pieces so it could be picked up on large brush pick up day.  Sunday evening I was able to restore my mailbox to its functional upright position.

Monday, the Lumberjack/Ninja visited my yard and addressed the pile o’ brush.  The pile was reduced to half it size and was neatly stacked at the curb.  Today when I came home it was all lined up on the curb ready for pick up.

Just when I had declared that the world was full of ungrateful people  and I was feeling underappreciated, this happens.  Thanks again.  You ROCK!
