Our Natural Area Off The Back Deck of Our House

We cleaned up our natural area this past week while Nan and Pop have been here visiting.  Pop supervised while Nan helped pick up twigs and leaves to put in the burn pit.  We did a ton of burning this past week.  It's been a great week for burning and getting a lot of the trees cleaned up from the tornado.  At least all the ones that we can do ourselves anyhow.  We'll have to eventually call a company to help clear the downed oak trees out.  They aren't urgent so we aren't concerned about them. Here's a before and after picture of what's been done.

The entire landscape of our property looks so different now.  It'll take some getting used to.  Just thankful that we have been able to do as much as we have done this past week.  It's been a lot of work and a lot of body aches but well worth it to have so much taken care of.  Popsie's know how was a ton of help to Scot and I.  Was glad to have the knowledgable help.

T-Money and his buddy Sandy with all their Bling.

Two 1st Places and one 2nd Place. We couldn’t be more proud. It was a great tournament and he got to see all his friends plus his friends from Canada were there as well. It was a great day all around. This year it ran more smoothly than it has in years past. So glad it was such a great experience for Timothy.

T-Money fought hard and good. He brought home the Gold Medal. So proud of this boy. Grand Master Caan coached him for the first time today and was quite impressed with how great he fought. Check out the video clip.

Natural Area

Johnathan made quick work of the natural area but boy do we have a humongous burn pile when we get back. 

Maple Tree

That there tree is a Maple tree. The allergist told us years ago that Timothy is really bad allergic to Maple trees and we have one right off the back of our house. That tree more than likely will be going bye bye. So sad too because in the Fall it is so beautiful. 

Tornado Cleanup

Jonathan is getting what he can. It’s gonna be a long process.

Out by the shop. 

These are the rootballs that you couldn’t see for the trees that were by the shop. 

Here’s a better view of trees that were behind the one by our shop.
