Patty, Oh man, that looks like hard work. How in the heck does he pick up those huge pieces of lumber? I am glad you have your sewing projects to keep you busy so that you are not out there with him the whole time. I know he has them sliced up into smaller logs, but still! His back must still be in good shape to do the work of a YOUNG MAN's JOB. He must love doing it You really have a pretty view from your deck, is the deck off of your kitchen or bedroom? It appears so high up. It still seems that you have more TALL trees amongst the pine trees. Thanks for starting our Monday daily.
My husband trimmed a tree that was coming over the fence from our backyard neighbor. The branches were growing into the CABLE wires. Like you, it was too hot to do earlier this summer and Thursday was a good day to do the job. He didn't get very far before a branch came down and scraped his leg. It was a SMALL scrape but because he is on blood thinners, there was blood down his leg and filling his tennis shoe. She wanted to cut the trunk down till it was even with the neighbor's fence, but I would not let him get near the chainsaw. Maybe our neighbors can cut the trunk down. They were happy that we were trimming it from our side.
So, we did as much as we could do and it is better than what it was because it is what it is. I kind of like that philosophy.
Another cold rainy day here. Our furnace kicked on already this morning.
Here is a photo that I submitted for FLICKR's MACRO MONDAY CHALLENGE. The topic was ZIG ZAG.
I made my dog some Bow Wow biscuits yesterday and used this rotary cutter to cut the dough into small pieces before baking them in the oven.
I think I could have used part of this image for the WHAT IS IT thread.
Have a good start to your week.
