Chestnut trees are coming down!

April 28, 2010 ~ Chestnut trees are on their way down! Finally, we can walk around the yard bare footed and not get pricked with those nasty seed pods :0) 
yuppers, it's a mess but once we get the wood all stacked and the scraps burnt, we can get the yard rake out and rake up all those seed pods with the awful pricklies on them, bare feet time!
got the fire started and it's time to burn some scrap tree branches
glad I got those field stone around the fire pit!


and lookie there, a hammock, just waiting patiently for us to get our chores done so we can relax in it. next on the list to chop down is that nasty ole bean tree blocking the lilac up there on the hillside, it's another very messy tree, I want tons of trees on my property, however I want trees that will be producing fruit that I can process and can and EAT! apples, cherries, peaches, plums and such . . .
and talking about things to eat, we love to mushroom hunt, which we did this morning before we started with the tree cutting, found some nice morel mushrooms back behind our property ~ yea buddy!


just look at those yummy shroomies!
