Just thought I'd share a story. The month of April is our "burn" month and at the month I still had a few things to burn so I gave CE the job of getting the pile ready while I was at an appointment. I had a few trimmings and 2 dead trees that needed to be removed and burned. I had a row of 6 fruit trees. The very first and the very last were both dead. When I came home I was happy that CE had done his job as I had a nice stack of wood to start burning. It wasn't long until I noticed he forgot the first dead tree but I didn't worry about it until the pile was burning good. It was then that I noticed he cut down the two end trees. One dead and one very live, in bloom Apple tree. I was SO SAD! I guess he was having fun chopping down trees. On the bright side, he stopped after only taking out one live fruit tree! The bummer is the apples were so good! We do have one other apple tree in the front yard so we won't be appleless... Apples alternate "bumper crop" years and give a big crop every other year. The tree cut down produce the opposite year of the other tree....so we had apples every year. Anyway, after I got over my sadness I sent him outside to remove the stump. I took pictures to remind me to share my sadness.
