The Lightning Tree Part 3

Here is the strongest man ever. He just ripped this section of the tree right off the top.

This is the tree just before they cut it down.

Here is a cross section of the tree. We were concerned about the dead stuff on left side. The bark was missing for about 40% of the circumference at the base, and here above the fork the bark looked better, but the fracture was fairly deep.

These are the nice guys that did the job.

This guy is really high up in this tree. Check out the video, that's how you take a tree down when there's not enough room to just drop it in place.

This fine specimen is coming down... as I type. I'll miss it, we figure it's 60-70 feet tall.

No Vampires Allowed on the Premises

I found this on the kitchen counter today. I think the short one has a fascination with the blood-sucking, long toothed, handsome type. If a vampire comes anywhere near her I'll wag my tail and bark at him a bunch.

Snow will always bring out a post

Yes, it's been a while, but I'm not going to apologize for not posting recently. I've been really busy helping the tiny one with his posts. He's a terrible typist and he's always slobbering all over the keyboard.

It has snowed here the last couple days, and that has made life much more fun. First, the tall one stayed home and typed in the basement for both days. I guess he does a LOT of blogging because he's been on the computer the entire time.

The whole family did get to spend some time outside in the fluffy stuff. You can see here that I'm running this operation, bossing the tall one around and making sure to stay clear of the tiny one (I still like to taunt him by wagging my tail).
