A few weekends ago, we found ourselves trudging through the light mud and melting snow to fell a few trees that were either too close to our "house-pad" or causing too much shade over our future garden location. Most of the larger trees (12"-16" diameter), we merely felled, de-limbed and cut into 14' sections, which will be laid together and "seasoned" until we decide how to use the timber. More than likely, we will "mill" them (if we can find an economical way to do so -- maybe this), and then "sticker" them for drying and later use.

| The much-needed arrival of a necessity. |
 |
| The Pile gets bigger... |
 |
| This is where the house will sit. |
 |
| I installed a tree swing for the kids. |
 |
| We'll be doing lots of this, I'll bet. |
 |
| Where the pavement ends, our bliss begins -- 1.7 miles down the dirt road. |

| Everyone's working together (except my dear and very pregnant Bride. She's supervising. :-) |

| Pulling up roots... |
 |
| ...So we can "put down roots." |
