Trimming the tree

While Christmas is still some time off, we trimmed the tree yesterday. Actually, it was four trees and we didn't do it, a service did, but nonetheless, the dead branches are gone and the roofs are safe. It's been apparent for about 4 years that some major pruning was needed but the window for doing it is small. The only error was that the lower branch on this tree, which was necessary for securing the hammock, was taken off so napping will be a bit more dangerous.
