LOL! Our invasive pine is the Lodgepole, AKA Jackpine, AKA Doghair as my Grandpa refers to it. It's everywhere. About a fifteen years ago I had most of the pine removed from my property, so other than a handful of gigantic Bull pine (Ponderosas), most of the trees on my farm are lovely firs. Well, the back ten has a bunch of baby Jack pines, but I'm thinning them out.
And I don't blame you for taking that one out, planting a Ponderosa next to your home is like asking for shoulder strain, the needles never end!
Hope you are having a no pain from old injuries lovely kind of day:)
Thanks, my shoulders are currently good. Old injuries are a good excuse to avoid chores like mopping haha
