The title says it all, so nothing more is needed, except that I also cut down the 100 foot, 140 year old dead fir tree, and then went out and paid cash for a brand new, larger stump grinder. What more could an “elderly” (ha! ha!) arborist want for his birthday? Cheers!
Who says that reindeer can’t clean gutters while they’re going from rooftop to rooftop on Christmas Eve?
Every year in December, we at Good News Tree Service do the gutter cleaning for one our HOAs for which we typically provides arboricultural services. With 265 townhomes, it provides work for the crew during a slower time of the year for tree services.
With family and friends coming to visit our clients, my crew was concerned about being on people’s roofs on Christmas Eve, since they’d be tromping around on the roofs cleaning gutters possibly being a bothersome disturbance to people on their special day. Well, we came up with a solution to a potential problem. My wife came up with the idea of putting reindeer antlers on the guys’ helmets. I thought the guys might think it was a stupid idea, but they actually enjoyed the fun humor of it all and let me tape the antlers to the helmets. They then posed for a photo op, and then hurried up onto the roofs to do their work.
We’ve got a great crew!
This video is a montage of my personal Japanese garden with no commentary, just natural sounds and music showing the garden awakening in early morning light, it smiling throughout the day, then its being whipped about by a surprise lightening and thunder storm, then a pastoral, peaceful calm returning to the garden as it goes to sleep with lanterns burning and crickets chirping. Please enjoy this poetic view of my garden.
Ever wonder how you can create your own private Japanese garden in your own yard whether you have a small or large area to work with, and do it without spending a boat load of money? This is a tour of my own Japanese garden and tips on how I constructed it with no help from others and very little expense. Check it out!
Yes it is true, there is a world class, exquisite Japanese garden high in the mountains of the area between British Columbia and the Yukon Territory of Canada, and I am its discoverer! No Japanese garden on earth can match the scope and breadth of this one. Watch this video and see for yourself.
The Dr. Sun Yet-Sen Classical Chinese Garden in Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada is the first garden of its kind that was constructed outside of Asia. This exquisite world class garden is similar stylistically to many Japanese gardens, but has its own unique characteristics as you will discover in this video.
