Let The Sunshine In

The big tree in front of our house was trimmed yesterday...great for us, not so comfortable for the tree. There were two workers up in the far reaches of the branches for what seemed like hours, and a constant rain of leaves, pollen, and branches. Even the cats were sneezing! All of a sudden the front of our house was brighter...the sun found its way across the yard, through the picture window, and into a conversation I was having with a good friend. The hummingbirds dancing around the feeder hanging from the porch awning were surrounded by sparkling dust motes. We turned off the lamp. Free "electricity"! Now the tree is adjusting to its new, much less clothed, state...still shedding a few teary leaves but by and large stretching up and happy to also be more bathed in sunlight as well. We'll all get healthier together as our little patch of Creek Drive soaks up the vitamin D.
