Trimming the trees

Some of our tree branches were getting very close to our roof. Our tree in the front yard had branches coming almost to the ground. That's way too low when I'm cutting the grass and I have to dodge, duck and try to mow around them. Thanks to our Dad, we now have a limb trimmer and it turned out to be pretty fun to use. We did it just in time, since last week was a very wet and windy one. The remnants of Hurricane Gustav came up and covered Arkansas for over three days, bringing over 7 inches of rain and leaving many fallen trees around the state.
