big tree ~ down

Finally,

the tree is down.

Felled from the very top

by a 27 year old extremely brave young man

with an itty-bitty chain saw.

Bubba and I watched from chairs on the patio

while the feat of taking down a hundred foot pine tree

was orchestrated before our eyes.

They have left for lunch 

and will return any time now to clean up the mess.....

such a big mess it is.

Very thankful for the safety of the one who climbed so high.

Yards are endless work.

We rented for about seven years and had forgotten.

Work is good.

God ordained it to keep us busy and happy.

Glad this project

can be marked permanently off the list.

Clean-up has begun....

Sadly,

they left the place a big mess....

threw their water bottles on the ground,

 leaked oil from the tractor all over the driveway,

and tore up the grass, etc.

The tree is down,

but that is all. :(

*after the tree ordeal and the kidney stone event

I am ready for another

week at the beach.
