Pruned Magnolia and redbud

In preparation for re-roofing the house (due to hail damage), Dad came over and gave the magnolia and redbud trees a severe pruning. The trees were starting to resemble a big leafy green blanket, covering the front of the house. The house sure looks different now, after the "haircut". We have a brush pile about 6' x 8' out front. I hope the city comes and picks it up before fall.
