Spring, spring...beautiful SPRING!!!
Our first outdoor project of the year was our "lovely" apple trees.
My Grandpa Bunnell lives just a few miles away,
and is the tree pruning expert!
He grew up on an orchard, and was generous enough to share his wisdom.
I missed the complete before picture....but, here's the one tree before
and almost done with the first. Ya....tons of over growth!!
Sean and Grandpa studied, deliberated, pondered, created...etc...
Each branch was an artistic, scientific question.
Sean was in the tree a lot of the time...
Grandpa was directing and extracting...
And...about 3 hours later...voila!!!
MUCH smaller nice looking trees. Well...will be nice looking...hehe
Thanks you so much for your help grandpa!
We're so excited to see how our apple crop will be next year!
Aren't I so lucky to have such manly men in my life. :0) LOVE YA!!!

haha! that's awesome. grandpa is so cute!
Wow! I'm so impressed that Grandpa knows how to do that! How nice of him to come over and help you guys out with the trees. I'm clueless, so I had no idea that it was a bad thing they were so huge! They chopped off like 20 feet from those suckers!
I totally want some apple trees someday and now I know who to get some know how good job!!!
