Timber!



This summer we have been the frequent target of drive-by tree cutters who cruise neighborhoods looking for work. The two 50-plus foot tall dead trees in our backyard have made us a beacon for these lumberjacks, and we finally hired one this week to cut down the dead trees. He seemed nice and wanted to charge us only an arm rather than an arm and a leg for the work.

Three men spent about three hours in the 100-plus degree heat felling the trees. Josh got somewhat distressed and yelled "THAT'S MY PLAYGROUND" when the men moved his swingset temporarily out of the way of the falling trees, but he otherwise was fascinated with them. It was quite a show!
