I take in the backyard? The ones with the tree with no leaves? At the left of the picture (go over to my life in pictures and choose the old gallery, naturescapes, sunsets). Well, that tree is dead, dead, dead.
It was a plum tree (remember the photo of the plum on the ground with all the bees on it? That was pretty cool). And now it’s a dead plum tree. It has termites and some sort of fungus on it. Last weekend, Brian cut it back. He cut all of the branches off. Now, there are just three big flat areas. And, at my suggestion, he’s going to build some sort of treehouse for the kitties! We don’t know how long the tree will remain standing, no idea how the root system is, but for a while, the cats will have a fun place to hang out. There will be two levels, the bottom one shaded by the top one. I think this will be pretty darned cool. The levels will be like boxes so the cats won’t accidentally roll off. That was my idea. *lol*
I’ll take pictures as he does it.
