A Tree Came Down

The boys were so thrilled yesterday. The neigbors were cutting down a 33-year old tree in their front yard. I called them all outside because Paul was helping and I didn't think they'd ever seen a tree come down in person; in fact I don't think I had ever witnessed that in person. Anyway, the sound of the saw, the tree crashing down in the street and the mountain of branches to climb in afterward were quite a thrill for three little boys. They had a blast helping Miss Linda pick up all the branches and leaves. The love to help OTHER people with chores!! It's fun to see them doing that and Paul can't wait until there are three boys to mow the lawn.

Thanks for your sweet comments of late.

We live on 9 acres and are trying to subdue it. Vast woods with a house in the middle when we bought it 11 years ago. Now we have a yard, front a back, garden space and a barn/corral. Your boys would have loved seeing all the hundred plus trees that have come down here with chain saws, bulldozers, tractors, etc. Living in the country can be messy.
