What a weekend!

Saturday I decided to make pies. In total I made 7 pies and have enough stuff to make at least 4 more pies!!

Abra helped the first batch and then had a great time playing in the flour. She quickly got bored and decided to go to the backyard and "work" with daddy.

Sunday we went to church and then the real fun began!! Rich and Rick decided at "drunk campfire" the night before that they were going to cut trees down. Our yard looks HUGE with these trees gone (and there are more things that are waiting to get cut down)

Here is the five in one tree that they cut down

The winch got it's first real use

And now look at that space. This is going to be where my garden will be next spring.

Any of you who have seen the backyard know that there are TONS of trees. My goal is get rid of most of the trees and bushes in the backyard and replace them with fruit trees and bushes and a little larger grass space. This tree was one that Rich didn't want to cut down, but again, at the drunk campfire, it was decided that he would suprise me and cut it down. We got both trees cut up and this week (in between raindrops) are going to be chipping the branches and cutting some of the larger branches for firewood!
