It's hot! Well, kinda really warm. Especially if you're outdoors for more than 30 minutes - try 6 hours. The forecast called for 87* degrees, and the nice breeze out seemed promising. I had tree pruning scheduled for my HUGE pine trees. The guys at Tree Amigos were johnny on the spot and on top of things, literally.
(Andy out on a limb)
I felt inspired, and off I went to do my own band of crazy pruning. First stop, bougainvillea. The frost of 2011 left me with a mess-o-dead-stuff. This was just 2 of 7 bvilla I had to tackle.

(to this!)
After that (and some gauze, witch hazel, bandages, few tears...) I dove into the dubious task of removing my tevitia trees. They got pretty zapped, and that was enough to nudge me to action. I plan to replace them with white lady banks roses.
(I'm kinda diggin' the open look...for now.)
By this point I was pretty pooped, and so were those Tree Amigos. So, from the garden to the kitchen I whipped up some tasty refreshments.
(Here's to a day well done)
