I was very grateful to Jeff Averett

Jeffrey came to my aid by doing the tree pruning.

He was able to stand in the tree and do most

of the pruning without the use of a ladder.

 I had pruned the limbs from the 

Colorado Blue Spruce earlier in the week.

 Below are the apricot trees before pruning.

 And here after pruning. These two trees have outlived 

most apricot trees but they appear to be dying now.

I trimmed and stacked all of the tree limbs.

This was only part  (a very small part)

of the total limbs.
