Tree Trimming

The sun is shining making it a perfect day for trimming trees.  On the list are liquid ambers, California pepper trees, eucalyptus, carrotwood, pine and willows.  I've counted nine men who I can see in the yard working on this project.  They are estimating three hours to complete the job.

It's a good idea to trim the trees before Santa Ana winds start.  The strong winds have broken branches on trees in the past.

Fires in California 2007

We are not part of the fires in California at this time. Sunrise this morning is rather ominous. I took this photo at 7:45 a.m. Usually, the sky would be blue with a bright yellow sun beaming into the house this time of year. Here is how it looks outside right now. I am sure this darkening of the sky is due to the fires in San Diego which is closer than the fires in Northern LA.
