Random Act of Kindness.

Today is my birthday. I don't like my own birthday- I haven't for a few years. Today though parts of it were pretty darn good. My mom came over and did my dishes, she watched my baby, and she let me go to the store alone. ALONE. Soooo luxurious. Then when I got home I decided to rake the leaves from the yard, something I've been wanting to do for a while now- again my mom watched baby so I could do so. As I did so I decided to do some work on the trees and other areas of the yard- as I was trimming away a gentleman in a truck pulled up and explained that he did tree work in the area. I explained we had a new baby and really couldn't afford anything like that and then joked that the only thing I'd really want done would be the funky Japanese maple. He said he'd take a look at it. A bit surprised I showed him the tree. Even the tree expert thought it was odd. The thing is low to the ground and all the branches are tangled. It looks like an upside down mop. So he said, 'well hold on' and went to his truck. He came back with a few tools and began cutting away! I couldn't believe it! A professional tree trimmer decided to trim my crazy tree for me. The random act of kindness was absolutely touching. The tree now looks amazing. It was the best birthday present.
The name of his business is Pependieck's Tree Service. I highly recommend them- not only because the guy was so nice, but because he did an AMAZING JOB! I have hope for that tree now. :)
awesome awesome awesome.


Our new improved tree.
