Well, the dead trees around our house are finally down. We hired someone from Tim's work to come out and cut them down. He downed a total of six, three of which were in danger of hitting the house. One of them was rotten at the base so it was a good thing we got it down. The other two were very tall and could have hit the house even though they were pretty far away. It was something watching him cut them down. For some of them he had to climb them and top them a piece at a time; he wanted to be careful not to kill my lavender and not to damage the fencing. It took him two hours and I felt kind of bad because it was so hot out. He also cut them into rounds and limbed them. We told him not to but he didn't want Tim to have to since all he has is an electric chain saw; apparently not a good investment. I think we will hire the same guy again to limb the trees that have dead limbs at the bottom. Tim wants to try and limb them himself so we'll see.
The rest of the day was pretty boring. I gave all four dogs a bath which I am considering my exercise for the day. I was sweating like crazy. None of the dogs really like getting baths but I know they felt better being wet for awhile. Tipper was much bigger then I remember her being in the tub (we usually give he a bath outside with the hose) Between her and Harry my bath tub is now covered with dog hair. Molly and Waffles don't shed. I them brushed them all, no Harry does not like any of this. Next I will clip their nails and they will be good to go for awhile.
Chris is teaching a lesson tomorrow so I will be going into town for something to do. We will also see Mike for awhile. Nathan will want to go but doesn't usually like to get up in the morning.
Well, it's off to getting the laundry rotated and the kitchen cleaned.
