Timber!

This morning I got these shots of the downed tree.

It was a tall tree.

Pieces of the dead tree.

Yesterday, Tom got a surprise

when he was getting everything ready

to cut down the tree.

When he started up his small ride on tractor trailer 

that he uses to haul firewood, etc. around the property

there was a flat tire.

This meant that today 

he had to take a trip down the hill

to civilization and get a new tire.

So, by now (it is 7pm) 

he has putted around with the tractor thingy

 and picked up and 

hauled all the cut up logs away 

and put it in the firewood stack to be split.

Much better to cut the dead trees down

before they fall down.

Tricky business cutting down trees though. 

I wish there weren't so many dead trees.

I did make biscuits.

And have eaten lots of them!

I think I will have another.

With butter and jam!
