\t\t\t\tIt was like a scene out of Ax Men.<\/p>\n

My guys were fellin’ trees.<\/p>\n

Well, one tree that is.\u00a0One large, rotting cottonwood tree that\u00a0sneezed snow all over us every June, grew baby cottonwoods in all my flower beds,\u00a0and became too fond of leaning in\u00a0close to our new business facility. Also, last month when we got eight inches of spring snow, one of her biggest branches cracked and dangled over the pathway\u00a0we all use to go to our barn library.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First, it was imperative that we rid the larger branches from this behemoth so they didn’t take out our Design Studio<\/a>\u00a0on the north side of our new building. (No thanks!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was a hard task, made more difficult by this particular tree and its catawampus angling. There wasn’t any margin of error. At least we’ll have no trouble replenishing the\u00a0firewood and kindling for our B&B. And the branches will be turned into chips for our pathways. Even bad wood never goes to waste around here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nick busted out ye’ olde tractor and hauled the branches to the wood pile …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

… then it was off to pull and saw it down …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

… quick moment of silence, okay, and …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

GO! I’ll pull, you saw.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now we’re loggin’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Right after it went down, we enjoyed a\u00a0spring rain and a rainbow.<\/p>\n
