tree huggery

i didn't turn on a computer during the holidays, 
so lately, i've been blogging and sharing highlights of our trip. 

meanwhile....
back in the homestead (ha ha)
 we spent the weekend in the back yard,
trimming our english walnut tree.

well, ian did the physical climbing, trimming and cutting
while i did the laboursome mental work of choosing which branches go.
i'm relieved and happy to report...
that nothing got broken (all my plants are still intact)
and no one got hurt (ian is soaking in epsom salts as i blog this).

also, ian thoroughly enjoyed his afternoon of tree hugging (despite his fear of heights).

bye bye too much shade
hello more sunshine (for my first attempt at tomato plants)
