In case you are not able to enlarge and read the text above, I lost a limb from my biggest, oldest tree on New Year's Eve. We had had strong winds the evening before and this is what I saw upon awakening. Because it was a holiday weekend I decided to put off trying to have it taken care of until later in the week.
Out of the blue that afternoon some fellows showed up and offered to cut that limb and another that was hanging over the drive into firewood size for a very reasonable price! My neighbor heats her house with wood in winter so I gave her all this.
A few days later the temperature reached the lower sisties and I decided it was a perfect day for cleaning up the debris. The aftermath left me with lots of twigs and bark chips which I raked into a pile, set up my camp chair with my lunch and my bucket of water, and enjoyed a mini bonfire!
Thanks to all of you who tried to help me with my Blogger problem. I still haven't worked out the kinks but I can still post and maintain my blog. Eventually I will figure out how to fix the problem but for now I'm not worrying with it.

Too bad you have no fireplace...... but lucky neighbor to get all this wood.
Nice journal page you created:)
A win-win situation. She needed the wood, and you needed it hauled away.
I love the journal page with your camp chair and the fire. I can almost smell the wood smoke.
Glad you didnt have to do the work and the bon fire looked fun. Nice journal page of it. This is why we had two big trees cut down. It scared me big time when winds came up. We have some with big branches yet so hoping they behave. :) How come they did two branches.. Looks like only one came down.
Your mini bon fire sounds like fun Kate. I hate that Blogger is so fussy. I pay to play. I started to delete my old posts and that was a big pain in the rear. I ended up paying anyway.
wow - that's quite a tree! glad it didn't hit anything important and glad someone get's the warmth from the lovely fire
Love your journal page. Things like that need to be in a journal. Nice guy to helpmyounout and your neighbor loves you!
Always sad to see a tree in distress, but good that the wood can be put to good use. No fireplace in your house? Pity!
