At the new house so far we have exactly one tree and I don't intend to trim it at all. I'm sure the fruit trees will have to be trimmed when they go in, but I'll do it by hand as motorized saws of any type scare me to death. All the trees will be dwarfs though so it shouldn't be too hard.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-18568373027804489532011-01-21T00:59:14.735-08:002011-01-21T00:59:14.735-08:00You guys need to stop crawling around all over the...You guys need to stop crawling around all over the place and just hire someone to mess with the trees. There's jobs I just won't let Don do around here, it's just not worth the risk. Cripes, you scare the H#@@ out of me! <br />You guys sure get a lot done in a day. Congrats on finishing up with your teeth. I can drive hundreds of miles for fun, but don't think doing it to see a dentist would thrill me too much.

I shudder even more to think of working with my husband and a chain saw.<br /><br />2. A small apple tree and a small crabapple tree in my yard need pruning. You've reminded me that i need to get to it. They're small; no chainsaws required.<br /><br />3. You hung out clothes! Me, too. Mine didn't get dry, but I had the pleasure of hanging them out and bringing them in.dianefaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07229979968118248563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-13279245686197376232011-01-20T17:37:13.561-08:002011-01-20T17:37:13.561-08:00Annie I found your blog a joy to visit and added ...Annie I found your blog a joy to visit and added it to my List of Blogs to visit for my other blogger friends and I'm following you to see what else your up to. :o) GinnyGingerbreadshouse7https://www.blogger.com/profile/01285484153508538882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-36179400189148951532011-01-20T16:51:03.373-08:002011-01-20T16:51:03.373-08:00Erin, me too.

I had to keep telling him to cut AWAY from his body, not towards it. I'm careful to cut down or away, and to make sure the electrical cord and potentially dangerous projectiles are not near the blade. I'm also the one in charge of the electric miter saw :-)<br /><br />I did, however, kill a coffee pot and a water pic this week.<br /><br />********<br />Ribbit, was it a good article or a bad article?<br /><br />Was it this one?<br /><br />http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/health/2011/01/19/los-algodones-mexico-dentist-capital-world/<br /><br />Believe me, there are many dentists there I wouldn't trust. I did my homework, and I paid a bit more than some charge, but my dentist has great credentials, and her brother (right next door) even more so. She does mostly cosmetic dentistry, her brother does cosmetic and implants, and a surgeon is called in as needed and for root canals. She works by appointment only, where many of the dentists there have people out on the streets trying to get patients through their doors. I wouldn't let one of those touch my teeth!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-11270457843407881982011-01-20T16:47:43.274-08:002011-01-20T16:47:43.274-08:00Boy, that's a full days work for anybody!!
