First day back to written in 2.5 weeks. Killed two firs way too close to the house to keep , and pruned a large Japanese maple away from the house and cleared thick grape vines grown into the tree while the house was vacant. Homeowner cleanup! Helped a friend with a yard renovation ...

happens most days here in fall, been between freezing and about 80 all week long

I felt it happen in minutes once. A front blew in, and instantly it was 20 or so degrees colder and dropping.

Y’all are getting lumps of coal…to burn and thaw your frozen hearts.
