Today I got home from work and a man from Consumers was at my house inspecting the power lines. He laughed and said they are always working because it was starting to storm and pouring down rain while he was determining which of our trees needed pruned back away from the lines. I have been dreaming of working on a wedding garden in our extra lot...with 5 daughters who also have a lot of friends, I think maybe it would be nice to create a space like that, but when Brad and I talk about it, we always come around to the fact that it will be expensive to take down a bunch of trees....and we have other projects that should take precedence. So, I showed the man from Consumers the trees I eventually want to remove from the yard and asked if he would consider cutting any of them (that are close to the power lines, of course :) totally down instead of trimming them back and he agreed to take two big trees completely down with no charge.....YAHOO! That was such a fun surprise!
I got showered on while I was making my request, but it was worth it. I am definitely thankful for that opportunity to make a request. It's fun when something like that happens and gets you a little excited about a dream again.
