Pruning Trees

It's cloudy day today. Not that sunny and it's a little bit cold however this is the second day, the first day was yesterday that my husband and my son worked at the Village to prune the trees. Pruning is done during springtime. Pruning trees is part of the landscaping at the Village's yard (townhouse). Husband makes the place clean, tidy and in order. It was a well-kept facility that proper maintenance is a must all the time.

Pruning trees, trimming the branches, cutting the decaying branches are done to keep those trees around the area , keep trees strong, sturdy and healthy. Trimming trees to certain height not having its growth reaching the roof or over the roof of the townhouse. Making it at a certain level where it gives shade and at the same time have that ambience of the park-like setting not overwhelming the site that covers the townhouses. Japanese maple trees, sugar maple trees, cherry trees, and birch trees those are the trees that need lots of care and trimming.

 For the Japanese bonsai enthusiast their way of trimming their bonsai starts right from the first three years of the tree or younger than that. Trying to minimize its growth of roots, branches and stem including the shape of the bough. However it's not bonsai the subject of pruning but trees around the Village. That's another story. I don't mind having a free fifty-thousand dollars worth bonsai tree which is a hundred year old, FREE. lol.

Then suddenly a strange call from a stranger "unknown caller" which I listened to a tape recorder over the line of our telephone that I won the trip to Bahamas. A trip for 2 to Bahamas. Wow! Really? Wow! Why there? I mean it's nice in the Bahamas but I don't feel like going there even if its FREE!
