Tree Trimming

Taking in the show.

 Ted has decided to tackle painting our garage which matches the color of our house before it was re-sided in the wake of a hail storm a few years ago.  The garage is also rather dirty.  A large apple tree grows next to our garage, so the first thing Ted did, was trim it up.  He began Mother's Day afternoon when both bambini were asleep.  (You read that last sentence right, Fans: both bambini--!!!!!  Joe napped, and at the same time as Clara--!!!!!  On Mother's Day--!!!!!)  When they woke up, Julie took them outside for their snack and they settled right in for the show.  When a big branch came down, they cheered: "Yea!!!!!"  After they were done with the snack, they both helped pile the branches up for bundling.  Good times, good times.

Helping.

Here, the right side has been trimmed up.  The branches used to be as low as those on the left!  They were as low as, and even with, at least the window box on the garage.
