[nfbmi-talk] Tree trimming for blind people?

[gkitchen]

Hi Nick and Terri,

I think all the suggestions were good. I sort of take the relaxed view like 
Fred does.

We used to have real trees but it is a lot more work and well I hate to see 
a tree cut down. My folks offered to cut us one down but I said no thanks.I 
don't mean to lecture but anyway:

 It seems people cut trees downeven though they were very old and healthy. 
Sometimes the reasons are not real good. We have only  about 3 trees on this 
small lot and they are very old.  They keep the house cool in the summer 
etc. Yes, it is work getting all the leaves collected and into the compost 
boxes. One year all the leaves blew across the  street before we could get 
to them!

I am sure your tree will look real nice. I like different ornaments also. I 
don't think I have a computer but I have this rather large  plastic 
pineapple.
Best,
Georgia
