Holding out an Olive Branch

I could hear something like yelping during the night but I think it was olives scraping on our gutter. A year ago I cut a lot of largish branches away from the house. Today was more like trimming. There are still some overhangs above the roof but I have left them and stepped back. It also depends on the strength of the wind which has been quiet lately.  Overall it looks to be a bumper crop but not for another 5 or 6 weeks.
