Logging?
Glinda and I had the opportunity to travel to Rogersville and assist our oldest son with cutting down a tall pine tree that was threatening his house and leaking sap on his automobiles. We arrived at 9:00 a. m. and started by cutting a wedge out of the side of the tree in the direction we hoped it would fall. The tree was much too huge for our small chainsaws so we took another wedge out of another side before we began the main cut. Once we started the main cut it was only moments before it was on the ground. By golly, it had fallen the way we intended. Yippee. Does this make us loggers?
It was 10:10 a.m. when we were finished and all the mess cleaned up. The slide show above shows the progress we made in a short 1 hour and ten minutes. Then we had a great lunch of homemade deer stew and took a walk in the woods and visited a bit. It was a beautiful day in the Ozarks. The photo below shows what GrandMa got to do while the rest of us were working on the tree.
This is the first time she has had the opportunity to hold "Little Ike" while he was sleeping.
The video below shows my son leveling off the tree so they can set a plant pot on it next spring. That is 'plant pot' not 'pot plant'.
