Sometimes, people are smart

I'm referring to our neighbors, who came over yesterday when we were completing the last of the re-seeding on our front lawn. They made the suggestion that we have the city come and trim the trees on the parkway, therefore enabling more sun to hit our lawn. Hmmm. Hadn't thought of that. Call the city of Chicago and actually have them respond?

One of the great things about this house is the shady factor, and being able to leave the windows open in the heat, and not having to run the air conditioner, so we had a decision to make... keep the shade on the house, or request the trees be trimmed, and get some sun.

The major deciding factor was we didn't want a storm to blow down a branch, and crash down on our roof, so a call to 311 was made, where they told me they'd be out as soon as possible. I'm betting on next year. Any takers?
