We had a tree cut down in our front yard. We were afraid a spring/summer storm would bring it down and it would hit the house. The little boys were glued to the window watching the man climb the tree and take it down limb by limb. It is very hard to have school when something this exciting is going on in the front yard, so we took a break and watched. Then came cutting the main trunk and down it came!
Then God gave us B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L weather on Saturday and we started the task of cutting up the tree for firewood. It was so fun to look and take in the moment. Like little ants scurrying around busy working. Wow!, the saying, many hands make light work was definitely in action!! I headed up the youngest four as we took the brush into the woods. H.O. pulled out the small branches and cut them up and the big boys cut the bigger pieces up into logs. If it were only H.O. and myself it would take us forever! But, with everyone pitching in we will have it cleaned up quickly! And... as I was admiring my family working so nicely together as a team I was greeted back to reality as Andrew nipped his leg with the chain saw. Praise the Lord, God protected him and his leg was just nipped, but he did get out of work for the afternoon! :-)
