Cup o' Joe and Tea Too

It's like that around here.

Same here, unfortunately.

I like the woods, but I dislike dead trees and we have a lot of dead pines due to beetles. It's scary around here on a windy day!

We have that too, but our trees are, I don't know, 2 or 300' high? The ones around the house are stable and manicured, but the forest is wild. We have branches fall every time there is a wind around the house, but the only trees that have fallen were in the forest. The dead ones in our forest are covered with mosses, and for the most part look pretty that way, but there are a couple I'd like taken out. Just not sure how to do that inside the forest.

I got 2 trees down, I am going to let hubby cut the other one so he can steer it where he wants it.

Carefully.
Because we are on a mountain tree felling can be, well, interesting.

It's always interesting because you never know which way the dead tree is going to fall.

Well, I'm impressed you cut two down! I wouldn't even try!

Yes. I don't want one to fall onto another one and then begin disrupting the root stability of the other trees.

Wow! I'm impressed too Cap! I do a lot myself...but chopping trees is not something I have ever tried to do alone!

The hardest part is missing the other trees.

I cut down a tree for my neighbor when I was a teenager. I was fearless!
