Birds at the Logan

We were at the Logan last night and there were hundreds of birds flying around, so I thought I would take pictures to share with everyone.

Tree trimming time

Our shady maple tree needed some trimming over Labor Day weekend. There were some dead branches, and some were hollowed out, so we are very happy that we trimmed it, thanks to Ned Boyle and Michael Redding. Now, we don’t need to worry that our house will be damaged or, worse yet, a branch would hit a car driving by. Thanks Ned and Michael!
