When we got home we continued the job of cutting down the trees. Of course we left the biggest and thickest trunked trees for last and we ran into a problem right off the bat. One of the trees we were cutting didn't fall in the direction we intended. It fell towards one of the other trees and wedged it's self into the top of that tree! We both stood there in the 90 degree heat, looking up at the tops of both trees and wondering what in the world we were going to do now!?!
After hours of sawing, stacking logs, burning branches and sweating buckets, we both realized that the trees and heat had won...we just couldn't finish the job today. There is one tree left standing, a couple trunks laying on the ground and a pile of branches left to burn.
Did you notice his sweaty shirt?
After showers and drinking lots of fluids, we spent the evening like two whipped puppies.
It was tiring, but as they say...it's nothing a good nights sleep won't fix....tomorrow's another day....it isn't going anywhere, etc.
Did you notice that Carole had to put all the wood she was going to burn in separate piles?
ReplyDeleteShe burned it all....what's the point??
