timber!!!

The kids watched Chris from the safety of the house as he cut down yet another maple tree along the fence.  He cut one down last year and now another one is gone.  I'm not looking forward to the fall view from my kitchen window.  It just won't be the same :(

The trees are slowly rotting and dying.  It's sad to see them go.  And while it would be nice to plant some new ones in their place, the plan (or so we were told) is for Len & Tracey to build a new house right about in this area.  But we'll see if it actually happens.  They can't seem to see eye to eye on it all.  If they do finally build, we would move into their current house and ours would be torn down.  For now we wait... patience was never one of my strong points.

With a little nudge from the tractor, another glorious maple is down.
