This was not what was planned for today. I’m not sure what was planned for today. Well, for me it was work and I am proud to say that I deconstructed a document I was unsatisfied with, reorganized it, and knocked it back together pretty successfully. So yay for me although I am not finished with it because I am already brainstorming tweaks to it. Also, pride goeth before a fall.

Anyway it was around midday and somebody was knocking on the door. I reluctantly got up to see who was there, figuring it was a solicitor. It was a tree service. So yes a solicitor. I think I was politely turning him down but then the GG bounded up behind me and took over the conversation and the next thing I knew, we had hired a tree service solicitor to trim a couple of our oak trees. This was a surprise.

But… What I didn’t know was that the GG has been trying WITHOUT success to hire a tree service to trim the oaks for the last year or so. Nobody wanted the job. These folks were ready, willing, and able and had just finished up with a neighbor around the corner. I know, I know, that’s what they all say but this time it seemed to be true. And we did need our trees trimmed because it’s a dern jungle around here on the west side of Tree City aka The Planet Ann Arbor. I think we are happy? I’m not sure I can tell the difference between before and after but by the time they finished, it was raining cats and dogs and I didn’t go outside. But they did take a lot of stuff down and haul it away. In the end, our next door neighbor also hired them.

Of course I wanted pictures but I didn’t really feel comfortable going out hanging around potentially getting in their way. So this is one the GG got and it’ll have to do.

If it had been a window replacement company, we’d’ve booted them.
