Timberrrrrrr!

The poor trees.

Very exciting stuff.

There was much excitement at 7am today - the "tree guys" came to cut down 4 trees on our property. They were these very tall, very spindly, very dead pines that swayed precariously every time the wind picked up. After nearly two years of livin' on the edge, we decided to bite the tree removal bullet and have them taken out. Anyway, the tree guys arrived at 7am (a big apology to any neighbors that had planned on sleeping in) and Henry and Georgie were in little-boy heaven. Big trucks! Big saws! A crane with a bucket that a guy gets in! A really loud wood chipper! What more could a kid ask for? They took their breakfast out on the deck and watched the action. And now we can all breathe easier knowing that we significantly reduced our risk of a tree crashing through our roof.
