On friday (july 8th),
I had a project to finish.
(wedding photo edits)
So with my mind on what I had to do,
I didn't pay too much attention to the truck I met
right before my house that had pine limbs piled high on a trailer...
But it hit me when I saw this in my yard...
That trailer came from my yard...they took the tree down!!!
I had no idea I would come home to this -
so my weekend to-do list kind of changed.
Check out these logs...
We found out the tree had started to rot -
yipes on the damage (and insurance claims) if it would have fallen.
Friday evening agenda - clean up the part in the neighbor's yard/ditch.
Dirty work...a trailer full.
Goal accomplished - with a little help from the neighbors two houses down.
So thoughtful!!!
Saturday...
Time to start again the next day - putting quite a bit on a second trailer.
So very hot - and physical, hard work that I am not used to.
Looking better...at this point, help arrived.
(whew! they made my day - so thankful!)
I did use clippers while I cleaned up by myself.
Lots of trips to the trailers...
A chain saw and more hands made the clean-up process go faster.
Emma helped some, but the scooter was a distraction.
After three trailer loads,
and another load at the end with
the last few piles raked up...
the yard is clean again.
Deep impressions left from the tree falling; hopefully it will recover soon.
What a job!
Talk about aches and pains later - but a happy heart too.
It is much safer to exit my driveway now!
And another project is partially finished...
the stump and driveway needs attention now that the tree is gone.
Home ownership changes expense habits for sure!
