At last having a life...

 I was surprised with a lay off after nearly 8 months. I am starting to relax and start working on projects I haven't had time or energy for. It has been a real winter so far lots of ice and snow My neighbor wanted to knock down some big leaf maples I got all the firewood and had some fun. We had a big snowfall which knocked down a choke cherry and broke a branch off a maple onto the house. I had a tree company take the two problem maples down. I am happy and when I build an addition there are no more trees to worry about.  

The snow took it's toll

The problem maples are no more

This came up and I sure miss dad.

                                I find winter purifying a time to take stock
                                   and do what there never seems time the
                                   rest of the year. Be happy and follow your dreams!
