DANGEROUS TREE ~ MAKING OUR HOME SAFE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Recent high wind storms have wreaked havoc on our old Maple tree out front of our home, losing TWO huge limbs recently. We couldn't risk another fall, so have called on #4 son, Dominic, to the rescue:)
Join me for Truelove Family stories (which I have many, as a mother of 10 kids), Mothering Autism, with our Maxwell on our many fun car rides, and Free quilting class and sewing lessons! And as in a 'classroom' setting, my tutorials are approximately 1/2 hour+ long....So Join me in my home sewing room, out and about and trying to make all sorts of quilted goodies! Be aware ~ I like to chat and probably repeat myself over and over, (and stutter sometimes), and if this annoys you, then view elsewhere - but, if patient, you hopefully will learn a new method or technique and get an insight into a very large family and their crazy fun:)
And as always: Love From The Trueloves;)
Hi Jean! You are truly blessed, ps. 127 vs 3 tells us that children are a blessing from God!
You and Ian have obviously done an exemplary job raising your children!
Enjoy your family!
We do enjoy our family and count our blessings every day:)
Tree cutting is scary to me! I think it takes a lot of bravery to attempt it. I enjoy seeing family members working together! Thanks!
I totally agree! Thank you:)
Sad,, but definitely for the best. Health & safety first!! Lucky you have someone to help!!
Yes, all the work having 10 kids has paid off......free labor!! LOL! LOL! LOL!
There’s one thing Jean there’s never a dull moment in your life ! And I thought it was only me that always had something going on 😂 glad your safe ❤
Please please, someone, remind me just WHAT is a 'dull moment'!?!??! LOL! LOL!
I’m so glad you feel are safe now. You have a very handy family.
We are very blessed to have clever kids!!:) All that work paid off!! :)
Glad they were able to make the tree safer and give you less to worry about.
Yes, a big worry taken away
What a lovely area you live in, if the tree is healthy hopefully it will regenerate ❤
We do enjoy where we live! :) It is a super place:) We are hoping that the tree will come back to life yes:)
❤Blessings Trueloves! What a Wonderful Family!!
Aw thanks so much:)
Very good working crew,now hopefully the city will finish the job, and that you could plant a smaller flowering medium size tree. Great job thanks for sharing 👍❤️🙂
I have my eye on a Weeping Cherry:)
That poor Maple tree. It was a beauty in Its day
Oh I know. I was so sad to see it being cut down, but our safety and that of others is priority over the tree.
Sorry for the loss of the greenery but the retention of the tree is fantastic news. I pray that it provides safe shade in the future.
Yes, we absolutely have kept a very tall stump and one or two safe branches!! I am thrilled about that:)
Dear Jean, such a shame about the tree but your safety comes first, the tree will grow back but you wouldn’t. Good job well done by the boys. Love to the Trueloves 🏴
Yes, Margaret! We can rely on the boys (and Melea) to get things done for us!! :)
We also learned the power company will only cut the branches hanging over their lines. Sometimes, they trim a hole around them. Your sons are very handy to have around.
That's what our son said too
My favorite kind of men… god fearing, hard working, caring, intelligent( with a big dash of handsome) Gentleman!.. maybe double dash of handsome!
Aw thanks so much:) That they all are:)

Oh, goodness! I was holding my breath as I watched! I can't even imagine how you must have felt, but I did hear the sigh or perhaps gasp at 11:50! 😄So nice to know that you all are much safer now! You've such a wonderful, talented family! 🧡
Oh we all gasped when that limb fell!!! But breathed a sigh of relief also:) Thanks so much:) We are blessed:)
Wonderful you got help 👍🏻👍🏻
Good job everyone! So glad the tree still lives. Tree climbing as a hobby - that I would love to know more about! Deb x 🤗
LOL! Our kids have tons of 'hobbies'!! Very handy for mom and dad too:)
Great work and feeling safe is a blessing.
Thanks Terrie:) And yes, we are feeling much better about it now:)

Tell me please. WHAT exactly is a 'dull moment?!?' LOL! LOL! Please be safe and don't trip down!! My favorite name ~ Ian. And go figure, I married one!! LOL!
HI Jean & guys! I literally laughed out loud at the "Maxwell in his tree cutting outfit" 🤣🤣 While I LOVE your house, the one across the street is gorgeous as well! And your side road looks so peaceful 😊😊 You'll get used to the no shade part just knowing you have peace of mind.
I showed him this comment and Maxwell did laugh too:) Of course, he had on his 'lawn mowing' outfit, ready to be changed into his 'dishwashing' clothes, but he did take time to laugh:) LOL! LOL!
Glad you are safe now.
Thank you:) We were getting concerned!!!!
So glad the dangerous part of the tree is gone Jean ,your so lucky that your son was able to do the job xx
We are lucky to have our strong boys (and girl) to help when we need it:)
Poor tree:( but safety first! Well done!
I said the exact same thing!! Thank you:)
Your three men are all so alike well done 😀
The Truelove Gene is very strong!! LOL!
Love your sun glasses
Yes, they’re adorable ❗️😎
Aw thanks:)
Wow its so sad you need to cut that huge beautiful tree . sew bless to have your son's blessings around u,, I mean you took care of them as children now they taking care of you
We are sad to cut down a lot of the tree, but we have kept the beautiful tall 'stump'. But the danger is gone. And yes we are very very blessed to have such capable helpful kids:)
Jean,come on now, you have had more than your share of shall we say “incidents” 😮 , lol just kidding, praying for you, you are truly blessed ❤❤️❤️
Oh us and our 'incident's. We seem to be walking disasters!!! LOL! LOL! IF it can, will, maybe or could happen....it WILL happen to the TRUELOVES!!! LOL!
Thinking of you today with Debby
Thank you Nina and sorry for the late commenting back. I've been very under the weather with COVID, not Debby!! LOL~ We did get some strong winds and driving rain but it passed rather quickly, luckily!! Thanks for the concern:)
Last comment lol three handsome fellows wow lol
You need to move to Newfoundland will in my city lol we just have high winds and thunderstorms and beautiful snow falls lol
Oh wow!
Great job. Hard work. It will pay off. I understand how you feel about losing the nice shade on the house. Of course, it is better to be safe. Perhaps put a nice stencil on the sewing room window of have the grandkids paint something using stained glass paint. (Kids - paint -fabric = Abort, abort!) lol. Love to the Trueloves.
Yea, about that 'craft'.....nah. LOL! LOL! Love those kids!!! LOL!
Oh my! That poor tree is just a skeleton of its formal self. But I guess it must have been necessary. I’m still not sure what the danger was (because the large branch that was not cut is hanging over communication lines. And you said that the power lines are much higher. So was it a matter of the tree possibly falling on the house?
Yes, the two huge limbs that broke off recently in two separate wind storms just nearly hit our porch. The remaining one would most certainly hit it, so off it goes. It is too dangerous for us to try and get the limb over the cable lines. There is no chance of that falling and hitting our home, just landing in the yard.
Your men are definitely not wimpy guys! Great job on a tough tree. I was curious about the house across the street. It's quaint like your's. Is it old also?
Thanks 👍 The house across the street is a bit older than our home. Ours is an American Four Square built in 1910. The one across the street is what is known as Second Empire/Mansard Style built around 1885
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory Very interesting. Thanks Jean.
I keep wondering why Peco didn’t know that they weren’t their power lines prior to this.
We asked the same!!! And 'someone' came when we weren't home, left a note on the door, saying they weren't responsible. But on the phone (when Ian called several times, not realizing the power cables were up higher) they didn't say a thing!!!
So the city never came out ❓
Yes, someone came out, left a note on our door and left.
