I'll start with a nice Bardolino and some crusty bread to nimble on. My friend Don and I will be in the back booth. Best to leave us alone for a while. He is going through some real crap and needs to vent.

Both branches have been trimmed and mostly cut. A wind/rain/snow storm is starting today. Hope my new roof stays on. People here are taking out damaged trees and shrubs. No simple pruning and shaping here. Spring in Maine soon to be followed by mud season.
