If a Tree Falls...

In a forest does anybody hear it?  Well, I've heard lots of trees falling this week.  Due to the heavy snows last winter and nowhere to put said snow, Mr LC (thank you peeps) decided the time had come to enlarge the driveway and parking spot so we would have lots of room to plow the snow back.  Do you remember this?

It grieves me to post this photo.  Oh, well, now that area looks like this:

I don't know whether you can tell, but the apple tree in the top photo is now gone.  My poor little potting shed is hanging on by a thread now.

You see where the truck is in the above photo?  Well from that truck to the edge of the potting shed is where my inventory of lilac bushes used to be.  I know.  They're all gone.  We saved about four so the first four readers to hurry on down will get them.

I don't know if you realize this, but men and chainsaws can be a dangerous combination.  Two Butternut trees met their demise.

Above are the remains of said trees crowding out the rhubarb patch.

Our driveway is now ditched to within an inch of its life.

More ditching.

 

This is at the top of the driveway.  All this ditching will help keep our driveway intact during the spring run off.

Even more ditching!

There's our little house peeking through all the greeny goodness.  Well, here's mud in your eye.
