Timber!

It's a little blurry, but it tells the story.  We had a tree trimmer (at far left top) come to take down two trees that are dead or dying and Mr M has been concerned that they will fall and do damage.  In the photo Mr M is pulling on a rope that is wrapped around the top of the tree in order to direct where it falls.  The young man doing the cutting is quite skilled and put the parts of the tree exactly where he wanted them.  He works for the rural electric company by day and does this on his off time.  Now Mr M has some cleaning up to do.
