That remains to be seen! They could just make a mess of trees down all along the river bank!

They are creating a bit of a mess!

Oh wow, are these trees that they have cut down? Well you'll have to hire someone to wrap the trees you want to stay up maybe. In that metal wrap.

That has already been done. There is a photo of one of the wrapped trees in that post that I did for Wednesday's walk. Most of the trees that are growing along the riverbank are less desirable, and are just weedy trees that die off when the water is high, and then new ones sprout up when the water recedes.

Oh well you're way ahead of the game then, good thinking. Did you do that when they first moved in?

Back in November. My neighbor's son was here for Thanksgiving and she had many trees that needed to be protected. Her home is within feet of the edge of the river and most of the trees in her yard were vulnerable. While he was wrapping them he just went ahead and did a couple of mine that needed to be protected because she gets more benefit from them than I do. They are some distance from my house and yard.

oh well that worked out great then! How are you today, you've hit it hard today and gotten caught up?

I'm not caught up at all! I'll get back in the routine next week. Right now I'm sitting here huddled under a pile of blankets trying to stay warm! My furnace malfunctioned, some electrical smell that set off my smoke alarm and I had to turn it off. I didn't want to pay for an after-hours service call, so I have a fire in the gas fireplace and a little electric space heater running in my bathroom and a big pile of blankets! I do have an electric blanket that I can put on my bed for tonight. It's 36°outside, so it will probably be chilly in here by morning!
