Yep, but right now I am viewing it as that much less in the way of
leaves and pine straw to fall come Octobrer or November, so my cleanup
then should be relatively quick..........I guess for the most part its
like having them pruned as all the weaker and flimsey stuff is what
got ripped out. I know one thing it sure s a lot brighter around the
house here as well as when I look through the
woods..........especially where some of those larger trees used to be.
