Taking Down a Tree Behind the House

One of the big trees behind the house had started to uproot in a storm earlier in the year.  We finally had to have it removed.  It took some work to get it down safely.

 

 

The tree company we hired removed it section by section to avoid hitting the house.

Afterward my father worked on sawing up the sections into manageable chunks that could be chopped into firewood.

 

Then we split it all and stacked it for firewood for the coming winter.

Flying Over the Valley

David took me up in his family’s plane to do a little flying around the valley.

Checking out the valley is really cool from a small plane!  I got a little motion sick though.

There is our farm!
