My Dad has some funny ideas

Have any of you been around someone that once they get an idea in their heads, they just can't think of anything else? My dad is like that...once he gets an idea, he thinks about it and thinks about it and then does something. Well, on Monday when I went to my parents house, I was VERY surprised to see half of all the trees, de-limbed (if that's a word). And the word "surprised" is a less than graphic word for how I really felt. I was very sad and confused to see the trees this way.Apparently my dad got the idea in his head that the trees needed their bottom half branches cut off. I thank the neighbor for this idea since this is what the neighbor did to his trees and they look just as awful. Anyway, Dad employed the neighbor to do this to the trees. And then my dad and mom had to clean up the mess.

There was only one mistake when this branch fell, piercing the roof. Luckily it was only one hole because there could have been multiple holes with the number of branches that were cut down.

So, from this blog, I bet most of you can feel the disappointment in my voice. I was really sad to see these beautiful trees cut this way. Apparently, though, in the years to come it should make the trees easier to cut down when the time comes for that. Meanwhile, I'm going to try to keep all "IDEAS" from my Dad. I don't know what he'll do next.
