Last week our neighbors emerged from their winter hibernation and spent the whole day trimming the trees in front of their house. It gave "us" (loose term meaning me forcing Taylor to participate) the idea that it was time for our two front trees to be trimmed as well. So Saturday we got up early, and with a cell phone handy in case of the accidental loss of a member, fall, or case of a nasty sliver, we gave it a shot. It must have looked precarious because we had multiple offers from the rest of the neighborhood to help or loan us tools. One generous man offered to help us with his chainsaw. We agreed so he went to get it. He forgot that it was left at his work site in Park City so instead he came around the corner carrying his back up:
Don't let the picture fool you. It was at least 18 inches long. For the next thirty minutes I watched in awe as our neighbor was able to cut through five inch logs with one swing of the arm. I wish I had taken a picture of him. It was impressive. I did manage to get a picture of Taylor posing with his trusty tool.
We would have finished the event today if not for the four inches of snow Spring has sent our way. Oh well, we still have a lot of trimming left to do but just so you all know we are fully stocked on firewood- let's go camping!

OH my gosh. That picture of Taylor is hilarious. He looks like an even pastier version of Edward with a saw, spying on Bella.
You guys got more snow?!? How tragic! I'm glad you know your neighbor owns a machedi (?) If you are ever in trouble and it's not dealing with trees hopefully he'll come running to save ya!
It does a mother proud to see her son hanging in a tree!!!!!!!!!! Way to go Melissa for getting him up there. Jody
Good for you, doing yard work! Love the machedi, don't you feel safe now. So, yes were home!!! No need to travel south unless you really want to. I'm at work and just looked at the schedule and apparently we don't work together until mid june. j/k its like two weeks from now a monday night we'll have to plan a potluck or something. Anywho... I missed you so much but I'm glad you kept yourself busy chopping things. Love ya!!!
