Tree Trimming

No this is not a Christmas decorating post.  Rather, it is a paean to Larry, the Tree Man, who came and made our "Widow Maker" cedar more safe to live and walk under.  He also trimmed up a couple of oaks, and will soon be back to take down a Leaner-Pine in our yard.

Larry is waaaaayy up there!

piles of potentially usable wood; walking sticks, deck railing staves, etc. or bonfire wood....

morning light streams through the tree now

Larry up a different tree.  He-man!  I'm so impressed.  He's 56 years old!
