If a tree falls in the forest....

 ...and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound? 

I don't know, but when it falls in my back yard it is VERY noisy!


After hours of loud chainsaws, ear-splitting wood chippers, and deafening stump grinding the tree is officially gone and the backyard has taken one giant step in the right direction!

Now you see it...

....now you don't

     

I have to admit, I already miss the shade it provided and the yard looks a little bare without it but I know when we get done I'll be happy we did it.

In other news:  We've spent the last week pricing materials to put in the patio.   Two more weeks and we'll have a new fabulous patio to spend the summer on!

Next up, cleaning up the jungle that is our back fence line...
