Timber!

We've have been pretty busy around the house while Seth was on Spring Break this past week. We finished out last big painting project and we cut down three pine trees in the back yard. They were nice trees but they were right in the middle of the lawn. I don't know why they were planted there and not the edge of the property line, we'll never know. But now the back yard is nice and open and it seems a lot bigger too. Within the next week and a half we have a company coming in to take out the stumps and also the bee crazy pear tree. It will be a completely different yard come summer time.



This is a picture of the yard with the trees from last year when we closed on the house. We forgot to take a picture before Seth started.

Seth cut the trees down and I hauled most of the branches to Seth's truck so we could take them to the brush pile in town.

We were very happy that we were able to get all of them down and the area cleaned up in one day. Once the stumps are removed then we will be able to plant some more grass. We'll end up putting something along the property line to give a little privacy in the back. Overall, we are very happy we were able to get it done to give Norah, Silas and Cash more room to run.
