Will I hear it before it hits me?
My neighbor is cutting down this huge tree and I'm starting to get nervous. It seems like it would fall right on my house! I really hope he is a professional and not just a buddy. We have spruce bud worms really bad in our area and he is afraid they are killing the tree and then it will fall on their house during a storm. It is a very big tree....... but I'm pretty sure it's looked right at me. I think it would fall on my bedroom where I'm at. See why I'm nervous! There really isn't any room for it to fall. I am very curious how they are planning to take it down safely. They are cleaning the branches off it and that should take them a while.
I watched "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" yesterday. It's not really like the book. They changed some aspects of the story and merged it with details from "little alters everywhere". It was cute and sad. Very sentimental and they had such a good cast! It is one of those stories that leaves you feeling good in the end though. I just love the story. I haven't finished the book yet but I'm still going to, especially since the movie wasn't exactly the same.
Well, I somehow managed to lose my purse. The worst part is it has to be here!!!! I remember getting home with it and I asked my oldest son to take it inside for me when we were unloading the car. I never saw it again and I have turned my house upside-down looking for it. I even looked in the garbage (and it was gross) and in the freezer because the kids put away the things from the store.. you never know! I tore my room apart last night in case someone put it in there but I didn't find it. I did find my new glasses and an earring I've been looking for. I also went all through the garage and did all the laundry in there. I think a gremlin got in here and took it! I have never been so frustrated! ARGH! This really bites!
Well, the tree didn't fall on my house. We just watched them cut it down in bite sized pieces...well, if you were a dinosaur they would be bite sized. I like trees and I really hate to see them being cut down. We don't have enough trees in town. I have two spruce trees with bud worms too but I'm going to try a different method. There is something you can water the tree with in the fall that will prevent the worms from returning next year and it takes about ten years for them to kill a tree. They don't do damage on the inside, they just eat the new growth each year. I did a research paper on Spruce bud worms when I took my English class a year ago because our whole area had been infested with them along with many different pests. All the trees had something. There were caterpillars of many different types all over everything. I read in the paper that some people went home from work to find their garage doors or the side of their houses covered in big black caterpillars. One of my coworkers lived in that area and she said they were all over the ground too so after she pulled into the garage and got out there were green slicks where she drove LOL Yuckers! So this is the second year my trees have been harboring these bad bugs. They aren't as big but they hang from webs all over the tree. You don't usually see them until you walk into them and get webbed! Ewwww! I should have treated my trees last fall but was busy with classes and never go around to doing it. I will definitely do it this year.
Okay, time for tree too. They have a second chance to totally obliterate my house with me in it. This tree is much closer to my house too. I think it's a conspiracy or something.
I feel so appathetic now. I have searched my whole house, turned everything upside-down, and I can't think of where to look next. I have already gone through the stage of being upset and stressed and now I'm just... blah. I just want to take a mental vacation.
