I really am so amazed that you’re still following me. Thank you, thank you! Did you find my post on typography informative? I hope so. You’re so welcome.
In this post I will explain my last obsession. I love green – like really can’t live without it type of love. I live in South Carolina, but I was raised in the desert. It was brown with rocks everywhere. I’ll talk more about that later. But that’s why green is so gorgeous to me – I lived without it almost my whole life.
Is that picture above gorgeous or what???!!! South Carolina is abundant in greenery. My neighborhood is still gorgeous to me years after moving here. However, the newer neighborhoods have been clearing all the land and leaving no trees! It infuriates me! Why would they take all those beautiful trees down? They obviously don’t know how lucky they are. I’ve had to take a tree down myself, I’ll admit, but it wasn’t just for no reason. My yard was beautiful but had too many trees crammed into a small space and one tree in particular had roots all over the yard. The culprit was a River Birch tree (see below). It pretty much looked like the picture with it’s 3 separate trunks. Apparently they’re not great for yards and should stay close to larger water sources because they drink up water like crazy, killing your lawn. Anyway, I told my landlord that the tree had to go so that the lawn could survive (also green!). He agreed. I had never seen a tree that large come down before. It was something I watched from my window for a good hour (just like squirrels when I first moved here). I never really saw cactus removal in the desert. Tree removal is no joke though. Heights aren’t my cup of tea but somebody has got to do it so I called a pro. Lexington’s Best Tree Service came out and they were awesome and very informative. The guy removing my tree had to climb pretty high and cut huge chunks down hoping not to hit anything below. It was quite enthralling. Now that the tree is gone, I still have 4 remaining and my yard just brings a smile each time I come home. I love to garden and plant flowers. When I have my own place, I will go crazy with local nursery finds and you can be sure to find them on this blog. Continue reading Green…anything green
