Timber!

Check out John's first experience with a chain saw...he totally wants one now! (Father's day perhaps?)


We've had dead tree decorating our front yard for a while now. The tree was partially dead when we moved in, and each year it has died a little more because we didn't know much about trees or how to go about saving one. In an attempt to have some fun between sessions of conference (and because today was the first day that the weather has cooperated with yard work this spring) we decided today was the day to chop it down. So now it is gone. We will patch the hole with some sod. And then dig out a flower bed along the house (I'm sure you will all be losing sleep at night waiting for the pictures of the finished product). What a fun spring project! We just love digging out sod!

What a fun project! Jon and I are trying to plan our landscaping with minimal amounts of sod so we NEVER have to dig any out of we decide to change things!

How did you get the stump out? I thought you had to have an enormous stump grinder to do that!

We hooked the stumps to a truck with a chain and pulled them out.
