Tree Bee

    As mentioned in yesterdays post...

The chainsaws  have come out to make some sense of my storm damaged forest.
The micro-burst that tore through my woods last year, knocking down trees like dominos, leaving some dangerous trees standing needs to be attended to now...

This morning my friend Andrew showed up with his saw and gear and gave me a hand felling some trees...

 Some trees leaned precariously, their roots systems partially torn from the soil... some were damaged and cracked, dying slowly,  while others  were entangled  with other trees under tension, risky and unpredictable. ...
A dangerous morning of cutting ...

followed by a demanding afternoon of skidding logs to the wood pile ready for blocking and splitting...

The trees were sizeable...

Working conditions were hot and footing was sometimes difficult...

Slash was piled...

And so was wood for the winter...

One of the dogs seems to approve!

A good start on a very necessary project that will take a while to complete

I am appreciative for the help...
