{Happy Thanksgiving 2015!}

Today, all plans got thwarted due to 7 hours power outage, a broken underground cable in our street...

They did repair it but also damaged first a water pipe, causing a fountain.

And they also struck the cable for TV and Internet!

But after 8 hours; all was back on again. 

Still being grateful for so many things!

Thanksgiving Day: Pilgrims were a surprisingly worldly, tolerant lot

Pilgrims who braved the Mayflower were profoundly shaped by their 11 years in Leiden, Netherlands, where they arrived 402 years ago this year. Deeply devout, they were also some of the most tolerant among Puritan groups who headed to the new world.

{Trimming up Dogwood Lets Light Back into Bay Window Area}

On November 12, Pieter did start Trimming up our huge Dogwood tree, that almost touched the house.

It really had darkened our entire Bay Window Area!

Twenty five years of growth is a LOT.

After breakfast, those long branches got sawn off...
Done with the hand saw, while standing on a ladder!

From the bay window area it still looks kind of dark...
With our white vinyl picket fence in the back.

One can tell that those branches almost reached the house, while up there...

Those two limbs have to be sawn off completely...

Up on the ladder and with the use of the electrical chain saw...

A better view of the action...

Down it came, with already big buds for the dogwood flowers meant for next spring...

SORRY!

It kind of hurts to murder something living...

Husband Pieter did have constant help from cat-man Spooky.

He walks back and forth when all the branches got hauled off, after they got cut up into pieces.

Hard work and now we got a LOT more light into our Bay Window Area!

Wishing all my U.S. readers a very Happy Thanksgiving.
