Are you sure it is spring?

Well yesterday i woke up to 2 inches of snow on the ground,k and then I thought wait a minute it is spring isn't it? Also the tree service guys were coming out to cut down our large maple tree. They were supposed to come out on Thursday but they postponed due to a bad weather forecast earlier in the week. Thursday was a beautiful day and yesterday it snowed. Go figure well they worked in the snow for two hours before they called it quits. they only took down just a fraction of the tree. i can not believe how much wood there already is on the ground. The pictures below only show part of it. The larges pieces of wood are 2 feet in diameter and the last pictures of the tree are what is still to be cut down. There is still half as much wood as what is piled still to be carried out of the woods.
I was really surprised that Toby handled all of the noise from the chainsaws and chipper really well. Speaking of Toby man has he grown he is crawling around like crazy now and he is fascinated with shoes. We really have to keep an eye on him.

After

The tree guys are coming back to finish the job on Thursday. Please hope for better weather so that they can get it done safely.

You can't blame me on the crazy weather this time. I wasn't there. I am glad Toby was okay with all of that noise. How hollow was that tree anyways?

Great shots of the tree. I can hardly wait to see Toby, by the way, when will that be. I know he has grown. It has been since the 5th of January... Let me know when you can come by for a visit... Give him a hug from me. L, Great Auntie Paula
