Popping Wheelies

and some say yard work in not fun!!!

The Right Tools

do make a difference.

It also nice when someone lends a hand

and a tractor.

These are the only tools I have a license to use.

Thanks to Hubby the work went much faster.

My Sister's House

Stands with a repaired roof today.  We were scheduled for repair but rain kinda moved up the schedule. This week the roof decided to leak and the sheet rock in the kitchen ceiling decided to fall. Fire department volunteers climbed onto the roof and laid a tarp to avoid further water damage.  Cleaned up, gosh, what a mess! Repaired.  On to other chores.

With all the work we have to do I am grateful for good help

and good equipment.

Hoping next week is not as exciting.

Solving Problems

 Chestnut tree almost on power line

and a bird poop cherry allowed to grow too tall

Sick, weak and unwanted limbs sawed or pruned

Much progress

See the tongs?  Wood is stacked. 

Small debris added to our ever growing pile. 

Holding the tree with the tractor bucket so it will fall correctly.

Too many things to hit if it fell wrong.

Timber!  

Doesn't look big but this was the tree by the power line.

Clean up continues.

We make walking sticks and vine wreaths for the shop.

The queen of distraction!

I'm not sure I will survive.

Who's Driving?

I kid you not! This lawn mower is not running. The lights look like they are on.
See the mist above the mower?
Has someone come to help us clean up the mess?
