A few days ago, David decided to get rid of one of the biggest trees in our yard.  It took up a lot of space, was crooked, and had a million leaves.  I was a little nervous b/c it was a heavy Sycamore.  We even tried to cut at an angle, tie up the tree and aim away from our swing set and the new grass seed.  Needless to say, it was heavy and found its own path...right on top of our new grass seed and swing set, however, the swing set won the battle and our house survived and that makes 9 trees down and probably 5 more to go.  But every project makes our yard feel bigger and better!
