Timber!

We started our Labor Day weekend with a bit of work...helping Pa and Gram cut down a couple trees.  The first one up was Gram's Rose of Sharon bush.  Unfortunately, the last couple of dry summers had taken their toll on the bush. 

With a swipe of the chainsaw, it was gone.

Thankfully, we had someone willing to drive the lawnmower and pull all the limbs back to the brush pile!

The next tree was one of Gram's Brandford Pear trees.  A section of it got taken out in a storm this spring/summer.  They thought it best to take the rest of it down before another storm did more damage.

Almost done

Thankfully, it all came down as planned!

Little Miss was left with a perfect place to sit and watch everyone else work

Until next time...

Not-So-Fun Friday Fotos

Got to love Indiana weather and the storms that come in the spring time.  Oh, wait.  Spring is still a few weeks away!  Anywho...

This was the view out our back door about the time a tornado touched down about 2 or 3 miles to the north of us.

I know it is hard to tell, but there are weather spotters out taking pictures beside the blue lift.



The kiddos got to take their nap in the basement today :)

After that first storm rolled through, we looked to be good.  Then, a hour or so later, the hail came!

That's when I noticed our poor swing set.  That thing has had a very rough life.

At least that was the only damage for us.  Praying for the others that were not to lucky.

I pass this barn every day when I take Dallas to preschool.
