Tree Trimming

No, we're not about to decorate for Christmas, despite the in your face displays in all the stores. We'll save our Christmas celebrations for after Thanksgiving, thank you very much. However, we still have those trees to trim, or maybe lop. We'll definitely need our loppers to work on our citrus trees. They all have a plethora of fruit, and they've grown unbelievably since we left in the spring. It's a good thing our two neighbors have not yet returned to the Valley, so we have time to trim our unruly trees back from their property.

Jan and Steve's tangelo tree is ripening and looks to have a bumper crop. Steve picked a few for us. We got to see the work in progress on their trailer. Steve took up the bedroom carpet and replaced it with wood to match what he put in the living room last year. Jan is his go-fer, and both of them complained that everything takes them longer than it used to. They've been working on this project for a while. Steve does meticulous work, and it all looks great.

We went grocery shopping and to Costco, with a stop along the way for Ken to check out what's on offer at Best Buy. Somehow the day just flew by.
