"Lynn, what is that awful noise? How can I get
any sleep?"
Poor Precious trying to get her beauty rest during the day in her tent-bed.
And the neighbors are having their spare lot cleared of
briars and multiflora and dead trees. All Ash trees here
are now dead. We have thousands of skeletons standing every where.
There were some on our property alive
until 2 years ago. We had 15 dead ones removed.
This is one trailer I can see from the bedroom window.
It was a sunny but cold day. But I am sure the Amish in the stove pipe
hat was not cold with all the work he and another man did.
"I need absolute peace and QUIET. Doesn't anyone hear me?"
Oh! What shame...The Ash is tolerant of most soils,
ReplyDeleterelatively pest-free, drought tolerant, has beautiful
fall color that ranges from yellow to deep reds, and
is a strikingly graceful and beautiful tree..
And the disease that will kill it is..Ash Dieback...
It kills 80% of the trees in the UK alone..! :(.
Never mind Precious..like the wind..it'll 'blow'
over..! :o).
Its too bad all the ash have died, but how rude of the people removing them to ruin your rest! We hope the rest of your day is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi Precious! Thanks for visiting on Caturday Art, you know your Mom could easily do the art we did today, at the site we used, you just choose which you like, upload a picture and click OK and in a few seconds, your art appears! Then you download it! Have a marvellously happy day!
DeleteYou have such a sweet face Precious. Full of concern for the noise. Gosh that's alot of clearing being done. I am wondering if they chip all the branches for wood or cut it up for firewood.
ReplyDeleteSome logs were hauled away but all small limbs were turned into ground up chips and left on the ground. Not sure what the neighbors think that is good for.
DeleteWhat killed your ash trees? That's a shame. I hate to see trees die; it takes so long for them to grow. At least Precious had her tent to hide in.
ReplyDeleteEmerald Ash borers lay their eggs on the trees and the larvae eat the tree from inside.
DeleteThat's too bad. You'd think they wouldn't cause so much destruction as to do themselves out of food and nest...
DeleteOh my dear Precious, don't you just hate it when humans disrupt your sleep patterns? Don't they understand we need our beauty rest? I tell you...
ReplyDeleteThe ash borers did in all our ash trees too. Too bad nothing kills r. multiflora - well, we haven't have tried napalm. Yet.
ReplyDeleteI read what John said above there. All of our ash trees are pretty much dead as well...same reason. It's such a shame and sorrow that an entire species will be gone forever.
ReplyDeleteHow sad to lose your trees. :( It looks like you live in a heavily wooded area. I hope there are other types of trees that give you shade and beauty. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteLynn, I've never met a cat who was not bothered by noise and commotion. We had to have a new wall furnace installed, and our cat couldn't get away fast enough. He makes his displeasure known even when workmen come for quieter things!
