We used to have three lovely, shade trees in our front yard, that would keep us cool in the summer months (actually, since we live in the desert, it keeps us comfortable throughout the year). I also liked the idea of having those three sturdy trees out in front of the house, since they seemed sort of protective. Well, now there are two trees. We found out that the middle one (middle child...get it, Adam?) was not getting its daily nourishment, thus it began to lose weight...not really sure a tree can lose weight, but that's the best way I can explain it. It was really funny how the trunk was markedly smaller than that of its brothers (kinda cute, huh, calling trees brothers). Anyway, the outer ones began to get stingy with the water and whatever else it is that trees need to grow, and abused their smaller, weaker brother. Is this beginning to sound curiously like a fantasy? Getting to the point, we chopped the dang thing down, so now the larger, stronger brother trees are happy and living off the fat of the land. Boy, it's is definitely time for a break from work. Oh, that's right, we do have a break...Fall Break. Yay! I'll take a picture of our handy work tomorrow morning and add it to this post.
