Timber!

We decided to take our massive tree down that has been giving us problems. It "sheds" everywhere and the birds have nests which lead to plenty being dropped on our cars.
So...down it goes.
I was supposed to take the picture as it was falling... but I was too concerned about Grandpa's truck getting hit...oh well... we got the job done.
Here is Jake limbing up the tree so that he could get the rope around for bringing it down.
Jake did a great job getting the tree ready for the big fall...the only accident was a cut on his leg from the chainsaw. Really not big enough to mention...he wished it was bigger so it was worth showing off. All in all, our family worked hard (including the kids) and the tree was put into the burn pile almost completely the same day it came down. Great work kids!

Wow, I had no idea that was in the works. Brother, will you put in something else for shade?

Also noticed that the willows along the drive way look incredible. I got to get me some of those.
