Timmmbbbeeerrr!

Lots of trees and limbs have been coming down around here.... some were planned.... some from the storm.  Our multi-talented friend Topper came and cut down these trees we, and our neighbor, have been wanting rid of.  The two on the left were dead or close to it anyway.

Our neighbor has plans to put up a new split rail fence and possibly some type of screening trees.  Notice Jonathan's nice lush grass growing on the left side of the driveway... that area used to be brown and ugly.

Little man thought it was cool... anything that has to do with tools and equipment is cool.  He got to see the tree fall.

Our birch in the back yard had a large branch snapped off from the very top during the storm last Monday (we only lost power for two days btw)-

Topper also trimmed up the birch tree saying it should help it be more healthy.... which it has not looked too healthy since we've moved in.

The tree company people were also back working in the easement before the storm.  They cleared out more space which we were hoping for.

If you look where baby girl is sitting (mid left of picture) that is where our current back corner fence post is, we hope to extend the fence back to this area now the over growth is cleared out.

It would add about 8400 sq feet to our pasture bringing the area to .5 acres or more.  Building fence takes time and money for materials so this isn't at the top of the to do list but its a lingering hopeful. :)

As far as house news (and preview to upcoming posts).... dining room work is continuing, our BAY WINDOW is ordered and will be replaced soon, and we are expecting our pig meat back any day now.

OK, I am typing this with a cranky baby on my lap so....  :(
