Cleaning up the persimmon tree

Day 349 of 1000

Christian pruning the persimmon treeWe were sad when one of this summers frequent thunderstorms took out part of our persimmon tree, but it all came out well because it gave Christian and I a chance to buy some new tools down at the Walmart Garden Center.  Christian is not quite a logger yet, but he is much closer than yesterday.  It would have been more fun if we would have had something more powerful than a pruning saw and lopper.

Broken persimmon treeWe had major thunderstorms in a lot of North Carolina today with high wind.  I was very sad to see some huge branches of our persimmon tree broke.  It seems like a metaphor for something, but I cannot think of what it might be right now.  I took a picture and decided it looked so much better than the picture of Grandpa Lauro and I that I would use it as the header for this blog.  It is probably not that good of a picture, but anything is better than a picture of two old fat guys with glasses on their noses putting a puzzle together in a messy house.  My thinking is that if I just improve the header a little bit each time I change it, in about ten years I might have something pretty good.
