Lumberjacking

I met up with some of our men from church this morning to cut some trees down for an elderly person connected to our church. There's nothing like putting a chain saw to a fifty foot tree and dropping it on the ground... I felt like Paul Bunyan. Cutting the tree down was the easy part. After it was on the ground is when the work begins. My job was hauling the limbs to the road and stacking the wood behind the house for firewood. We cut down two big trees, the yard cleaned, wood split and stacked in four hours... and hours of sore muscles to come. Nevertheless, it was nice changing up my day and doing something different. My hat is off to those who trim and remove trees for a living.
