Trim and to be pruned

Willows along side of cedars- have died- after last fall treatment
will need to be cut down to ground
Put dead morning glory vines here= maybe they can cover the stumps
Hetz junipers outside of pool fence- cutting them back severely
will allow more breeze in pool- less mosquitos
Phillip is doing some of the trimming
He also trimmed the pussy willows by the shed down 

Cleaned up a lot of the branches that broke in the storm and branches from the fruit tree pruning and dumped at back near the weeping willow and Kartiks bee boxes
