[nfbmi-talk] Tree trimming for blind people?

[Laura White]

Awesome!
THe trick to lights for me is to start at the top.  You aren't so much
wrapping them around the individual branches but laying them across.
To keep them straight find he branch you will be putting them on and
then make sure you know which branch you need to go to next that way
you aren't looking.
if you want to cut down a tree I suggest making sure one of you knows
how to use a saw and have a third person just to help you load the
tree in to the car!  They are heavy!
Keep us posted!
