Rotting tree gets scalped!

Our one and only tree in the front yard has been sick since the day we moved in.  It has gone down hill more and more each year and threatening to drop large limbs on our cars, roof, and people.  After much back and forth with Allient Energy, they finally came 2 days ago and said they would cut off most of the tree limbs.  Leaving the large trunk behind.
No surprise the kids instantly turned the debris into a playground.  Here is Sam in the 'fort.'
The walkway to the front door was blocked by branches so the kids took turns chopping a path.


Instead of paying for someone to haul the mess away I just advertised "FREE FIRE WOOD!"  Already got some people to take some wood.  We did spend the day yesterday loading my neighbor Debbie's trailer with smaller branches and leaves and hauled it to the city yard waste department.  There is still a lot left to do, but we can't get to it til the large limbs are removed.
