You know what is great about living in a more laid back area?

People are just more relaxed. George finished cutting and Leon helped get all the logs into the underbrush where they can do what nature intended them to do… (An advantage to living in this type area.) We are left with just the tinier branches to clean up… They obviously made the resident raccoon happy. We haven’t seen him this year, not even in the cherry tree, but they roused him. He was rummaging around getting the berries that were knocked down.

George is an imposing man, over 6′ 3″, and, also, an interesting man, grew up on Bainbridge Island, climbing trees as a young lad. He appears to have that old fashioned work ethic and Leon does, too, so they made quite a team (I know I joked about them earlier…)

They finished just as the first drops of rain came down. Now, in Florida, the tree trimmer would have been rushing off. But George stayed for tea and cookies, we had the longest chat about all kinds of things. It was one of those afternoons Leon and I and George will remember. He even told us a few places in Eastern Washington to check out when we get back from Florida. And the pictures, well, I forgot to ask him if I could publish them, but I am making him copies and mailing them to him, he is looking forward to having them. But, I will post a pic of the raccoon foraging.

Now, a quick break and back to work…

    Beware of those racoons! They can be vicious! Your new abode sounds delightful! I love teh smell of pine trees and to be there coming up on Christmas should prove spectacular.

    Your theme is looking great! Hey . . . simple question . . . what plugin are you using for the profile pic? I don’t want to have that feature on my blog but someone asked me and I don’t know what works.

    Thanks again for plugging the Online Diarists Forum. I just put up in a conversation 5 Sandbox themes I really like.

    Hi, here by way of Damien’s Weekly Top Commenters. I could visualize the chitchat and laughter among the group. Good post! I’m in the season of realizing that simplicity has great value.
