Now there's too much sky.

Apparently the tree removal counts as a house project, for that definition that all house projects take at least twice as long as you expect them to. First we got an e-mail the night before saying that they'd got an emergency job where they needed to use their bucket truck on Friday morning, so they didn't get here until after noon, and then they only got half-way through taking it down before the hydraulics of the lift arm sprang a leak. So they're going to have to come back next week and do the rest of it. I fully expect there to be a thunderstorm so that we have to put it off again.

Most of the out-reaching branches are down, but the really tall ones are still there, and there's all this sun in the back yard. Ugh. Though if I'm not trying to protect the poor tree from having its roots mucked with, I guess I can do an actual rain garden now, which would be nice. And it's actually raining. I guess it's fall or something.
