the chestnut tree

our chestnut tree in the back or the house has not been taken care properly for the past 6 years...
it is a been growing a lot and was very much in need of a proper "styling", and cutting of diseased parts.


at the beginning of the week was the day, the tree specialists showed up and started pruning... they were working with lots of passion on the tree, i could tell they love their work and knew what they were doing.


the branches were all piled up in front of the house, in order to have them shredded.


after all the work behind the house was done, the shredding was just taking 15 minutes. 6 years of growing was being so very quickly made into mulch...



it was to dark at 5pm to take a photo of the new look. so this morning after a nice light snowfall over night i got to take a good look and i like it!
the tree will be so happy and grow anew coming next spring.

I'm very much enjoying catching up with your new life after your return to Switzerland. We've had a lot of snow in Boston since Christmas. In fact we're expecting another storm soon after midnight.
Aine's school has been cancelled tomorrow; hopefully the university will be closed as well so I can snuggle up with the book I'm reading "the Master Switch" by Mathew Wu.
