Well, it's down. It took four men, a long length of chain, a tow rope, two four wheel drive pick-ups, and oh yeah - did I mention a large amount of testosterone?
It? The TREE. The tree - one of the few we have on our property, a very large dead tree.
My husband called for reinforcements this morning and found the company he was seeking. Our 14 year old son and I didn't cut it - plus we didn't have the necessary stuff - chain, pick-ups, etc.
It was rather anti-climatic. Two good tugs with the pick-up and the tree was laying across the road. A bit of cash changed hands for the trouble of the three assistants, the neighbor's fence across the road was smashed, and the mailbox post suffered during the transport of the wood back into the yard.
Sorry - that's as good as the story gets. Maybe tomorrow will have more fun things happening.
