We have had quite the day of excitement around here...yesterday water heaters...today trees...never a dull moment! The neighbors (Nathan and family) and we had some trees taken down today...very tall trees. The bucket truck could go up 60 feet...and it was extended its full height for both of the trees and trees were still taller. It is sad to see them go...but we have lots more. One of the trees was dead and the other one was hollow at the base of its trunk. It was quite an education to watch the workers take them down...at times branch by branch and at other times big pieces of trunk at a time. Graham was interested to see that they used ropes like pulleys...he has learned about pulleys with K'nex...and today he saw real ones in action. We watched the stump grinders, chain saws, big trucks and smaller trucks go in and out of our yards, logs being dropped into a big dump truck, branches being ground up, and ever so much more...very good entertainment! We stayed out most of the morning watching them. It was a really nice day...it probably did get up to 90 but the humidity was lower and there was a breeze.
Woody got up early, went to work, worked, walked at lunch, worked some more, then came home to watch a few more branches come down and the clean up after the tree fellings! We sat out on the front porch for a while. Then we went in for an early supper, since we were going to babysit tonight while Kathy and Nathan had a "date night." We just got home...reason for the lateness of the blog.
No word from NIH. It is three weeks today since Woody's surgery.
