Very true! When Jill and I were first married, we lived in a tiny rented house on a huge irrigated lot in north central Phoenix. We had FOURTEEN fifty-foot tall palm trees in our yard, literally surrounding the property. They had to be trimmed every year, and the trimmings made a pile so large, it took a special run by the trash service to haul it away. (I mean, it FILLED an entire garbage truck!) We had an opportunity to buy the place, but passed on it. One of my better decisions, I think!
