Trees Gone!

In addition to our siding and roofing projects, we finally decided to get rid of some dead trees around the house. Can you see anything missing in this picture???

No more dead pear tree!! Yippeee! I was so excited the first Summer we were here when this tree gave us 3 pears. Sadly, that was the last year anything live came from it. We've just been dragging our feet about removing it every since, but it's been such an eyesore I just couldn't take it anymore!

Here are the tree guys shoving the dead elm out front in their chipper. They don't food around. One guy just grabbed their (small, I thought) chainsaw, made two cuts and shoved the thing over and it went BOOM! onto the road, with branches flying everywhere! It was VERY dead and VERY dry. Pretty spectacular to watch, but they had it all cleaned up in no time. I actually think it's the cleanest that corner of the yard as ever been. The picture was taken from the safety of the front couch.


Here's Keagan inspecting the stump afterwards.
