Sore and Tired...

We worked and worked today....and finally finished the easement for the Electric Company, YEA!! I'm sore and tired...A tree branch that I was cutting came down and slammed into me, ugh!! Thank goodness I had my barn coat on and I was able to use my arm to sheild my face and shove it away...Fred had bigger problems...just as we were on our last tree he broke a valve stem on one of the front tractor tires...I heard it snap and then the air whisking out....UH OH!! Thank goodness it was a front tire and only a valve stem...we used the bucket to hoist the front end off the ground and took the tire off...off to the repair shop tomorrow...We have all the trees cut down and just that last one to shove into the burn pile...what a good feeling...

I took photos of the biggest one we cut down today...we have few large trees on our property and then we have to cut one down, neither one of us were to happy...but what are you going to do when you need electricity and it's in the way of the lines coming in....bye bye tree...I did make Fred move the trunk over to an area where we work on equipment so when we are down there Michael has a tree trunk to climb on, lol....The tree didn't die in vain!

Michael playing on the tree before we cut the top out of it and moved the trunk.

A balance beam.

Jake checking things out. He was down there with us all day and did a great job of staying with Michael. Jake is exhausted and asleep for the night, lol...

Fred taking a break, Jake watching everything as always...and if you click on the photo and look closely you can see Michael hiding over behind the bucket on the tractor...he had had enough of me taking photos of him, lol....

But little did he know Momma was going to get one more, lol...He kept peeking over the bucket arms of the tractor and I laid in wait until I got his photo....
