Tree Trimmin Time at Two .


There's a person in that tree! 

Craig is up high in PaPa's and my treehouse tree.
That dead branch has hung there for about 3 years. 
Okay; maybe 4.  It wouldn't fall.




It was such an awkward area.
Himself climbed up with the chain saw
a time or two
but couldn't make the angle.
Son John climbed up with the handsaw
and was able to cut that dead branch down.



So after our tree-house tree was trimmed,
the crew moved up to Traci and Craig's.
Someone is in there, under the boughs of the cedar.
Someone is cutting and trimming. 



The bottom limbs were cut down, bottom up.
and acres of cedar boughs hauled away.
Tons. 
Some were saved to start bon fires.
Sawed up for another day. 
Joe's doing. Good Man!   




Traci and Craig's yard size has been doubled.
Their view of the lake is magnified.
The amount of shade they have to sit under
has increased dramatically! 

A good day's work is done.

For sure! It looks great. I thought I had a pic of Traci inside the Cedars. Lanny sent her in as scout, ahead of the main party. I think he chose Traci because of her diminutive size (sp?) but also because he knew she'd do the job (unlike me, who might get distracted and go off on tangents and be a whine baby). Anyway if I find that pic, I'll add it.
