These sweet 'helicopters' are littering my back patio. I sweep them up only to have it full again the next day. I have had it. Unfortunately the tree is not ours, or I would have cut it down long ago.

Brian comes home last night and asks what needed to be done around the house as he is going to be gone for a few days. The first thing out of my mouth: 'go ask the neighbor lady if we can cut down her tree and plant a new one.' So off he trots to the neighbor ladies house. I can see them in the back yard, looking at the tree and pointing at random spots in her yard. All the while I am crossing my fingers she will say YES, cut that nasty tree down.

She said...YES.

It was that easy....for me anyway. For Brian, this entails cutting the tree down, getting rid of the tree & planting a new one!

That sucker is GONE! Yipee. No more 'helicopters'
