Timberrrrr

The trees were falling in our field over the weekend. The big guy cut three black walnut trees down and one ash (it was in the way of the largest walnut). We went over to watch the trees fall. As they did, our two children shouted “timberrrrrr”. They had fun! I just wanted to make sure the Big Guy was safe. Trees are down. The Big Guy is safe and happy!



So weeknights we’ll help the Big Guy clean up the tops and stack wood for next year. He’ll also call to have a portable saw come over to saw these trees into planks. Then they have to dry. It’s not like he’ll be able to grab a board and start planing and cutting but he is happy to have wood for his drying racks.

Our neighbor assisted with the large tree as we wanted to avoid any mishaps. He “guided” the path of the tree as it started to fall. Thank you! In turn, the kids got to drive his tractor from our driveway to the field and back to our driveway. The little big guy was very happy as was our daughter.
