The Pines Are Falling!

Sorry to have yet another project delay my focus here, but there is a good reason. Honest.

The guys finally came to take the pines out. Wooo! We had a 40x60 space filled with pines that had been planted to be sold for Christmas trees. It didn't happen.



So, over the years, some have died, but most have lived, becoming far too tall, weak and dying to save any of them. So, they're down. They're not out, but they're down.

The first picture is taken about from our deck. The pines are in the background, far behind the garage.

The second picture is the view from behind where the pines stood, looking toward the house - which you can't see.

The third, is a compilation of many of the trees on the grown - but only about half.




This last picture is from about the same spot in the yard as the first picture, but with the pines gone.

So now, I get to chip all of the brush - of which there isn't much - and mark the trees to be cut into 10' sections for the hopeful sawmill in the spring. A friend of my brother's owns a portable saw mill and am more than willing to give him much of the wood just for cutting what little I want. We'll see.

Along with this, I have shell beans to pick, shell and can. Mowing, the walk to finish, a couple of quilts and basic every day crap. If my vertigo holds off some, I'll be able to come back soon, since this writing takes very little time. Keep your fingers crossed. It's been relatively bad lately.
