a bush-system has taken over the tree
Jun. 13th, 2012 10:51 amIt's too bad the trash man picked this week to come early.
"At least you got another morning mow in."
Definitely, definitely. I am not complaining. When I first got into it, I didn't think it was going to be that great a morning, as the sky seemed to be clearing already, but I had all three cats inside, and if I could get started by eight, I figured this would still be better than an evening mow. Then I got lucky, the skies became darker, with even a teasing scent of rain. I couldn't have picked a better time. It's just that it would have been perfect if the trash man stuck to his usual schedule. I could have disposed of all the bags of grass already.
"I noticed that you were clearing the tree trunk. For the cats?"
Yes, I have noticed that they have not been climbing the tree anymore. It could be that they just aren't hyper-active kittens anymore, but I noticed that our tree has also been taken over by a new growth. I don't know what it is. It is as though a bush-system has taken over the tree, and there are a lot of bush-like branches growing from the tree. It also happens to be taking over the resting points on the tree, where the cats would settle on. I cleared the first two perches to make it available for them again, if they should want it. I kind of worry, though, that our poor tree is dying, the only one we have, if you don't count Mother's little plum tree.
