Here we go again

Yesterday we had an interesting day. Our trees that we had waited months to defrocked were finally put out of their misery. A large crane appeared, the tree fellar hoisted to the top of the tree, the crane secured. The the fellar ropelled to the ground. He cut off a section of tree and the crane held onto the top of the tree. The crane gently lifted the tree to a secondary spot where another length was taken off and the tree was swung by the crane to an empty spot on the lawn. This was repeated three times. Now I don't have a particularly tiny lot but these three 50yr old trees took up the whole yard. The man left us with clean up. It took us a little over 5 hours to saw the branches off, I was on the detail of sorting and carting them away, Ben then chopped the trees in 4 foot lengths and managed to use the fridge dolly to put them in the laneway for another neighbors wood stock.

This morning we ran out of the house at 5:45 and about 4pm landed in Carisle, PA. On our way to Florida- now 1/3 closer to our home away from home. The driving was good, we had a lot of traffic but no hold ups, We spent 2 hours of driving through dense fog in the lower part of PA. Here we are for the night until tomorrow am!
