10. Tree trimming



You, know the cellar hole is finally complete and again I can't find a picture of it so I'll have to back track into the cellar stuff. In the mean time, on Tues we went to Boston for a Dr's appt. so Larry said he'd cut the big pine next to the house while we were gone. I did not want to be there when he did it, although in hindsight since there were no problems, I wish I had seen it go down. This was one huge pine and it was only feet away from the house. The branches formed an umbrella all the way over the deck and ramp protecting us from rain and snow. Of course it did drop a ton of pine needles too. I just hope the birds find a new place to lite. The 2 trees to the left of it went down too as well as some dead birches behind.










Good news, he didn't even have to flatten the transplanted blueberry bushes. Doug picked some berries this weekend and I made the best muffins I've ever had. The secret ingredient is sour cream. Ask me for the recipe.




Weds it poured most of the day. Spent more time pumping out the cellar hole and trying to keep dry then anything else.


Thursday we were gone again and Larry started
digging out the massive stump. He really knows how to run that excavator!!

You can see how he teased the roots away from the cable with our electric lines. That's my herb garden to the left that is still intact too.
