The Falling of the Trees

With the help of our close manly friends, our front yard now sees sunlight. Three huge trees came down without incident. As they fell, there was an eerily loud sound of splitting wood, then the most enormous crash as the tree hit the ground and made the earth shake - followed by cheering from the guys. I was too nervous and couldn't actually watch until the 3rd one came down - it wasn't until later that I learned that the shoots off the tops of the tree are called "widow makers".

These guys continue to amaze me. Thank you, Mark, Mike, Tony, Keith & Ken! We are so very lucky to have such wonderful friends and family! XXOO!


Look very closely. That is Mark roped in near the top of the main trunk of the tree. I'm glad I didn't see this until they were done. The guys dubbed Mark the tree surgeon, as his cuts were precise and exact.

Mike - phenomenal with a chain saw!

Victory at the end of the day! (Look in the background and guess what Marky Mark will be doing for the next week!)
