The girls and I have been working on a long overdue project - - Tree Trimming.
While I've been climbing up ladders and using a handsaw until I thought my arm was about to fall off the girls have had fun making a fort out of all the trimmings.
Here's Ms. J sticking her head out the doorway!
They even let me inside one time. The girls spruced up the inside with blankets, pillows, games, coloring books and snacks. I hardly saw them all day!
After the fun was over, we went to work cutting the limbs into easy to handle lengths.
Apparently wood cutting makes me a little crazy!
We plan to use what we cut up in our fire pit come fall. I love campfires in the fall.
TA-DAAAA!
In the end we have two buckets filled and waiting for fall.
Next week will tackle the pine trees!
Thanks for stopping by,
Robin
Yeay Robin and girls...you did a great job of killing two birds with one stone! The girls got a fort to play in for a while and you got firewood for the firepit...not a bad day at all. Bet your arms are sore in the morning ;) Have a great week!

Yay! Tree trimming is grueling work...but it always looks so nice when it's done. I love that photo of you with the saw...yardwork makes us all a little looney. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a big job! Hope you didn't get any storm damage last night!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of work to do by hand. Isn't it amazing what kids can do with their imagination.
