Tree Trouble

Well, I guess we don't have much luck with trees around our place.....
Last week, we had a lot of wind and one of our neighbors boundary trees fell over to our side. Actually, it was suspended in the air, lodged between two branches.
One evening, we all went out to try and "remove it from the premises." LOL!

First, we tried to pull it down...


Dad attempting to yank it!!!


We couldn't pull-yank it down so, we got the chain-saw out.


The chain-saw chain had a recent encounter with a screw driver,
so Eric got his ax and hachet out.


Caroline and Susanna


Susanna!


Well, we finally had to get the Suburban out, tie some rope to the tree, attach the rope to the car, and Mom carefully backed out until we conquered the "Terrible Tree!"
I don't have a very good picture of the final battle, because it was getting dark, and you couldn't see well enough. So you'll have to use a little imagination!
We are hoping to go to a nursery (tree) and pick out something soon! Check back for an update in March, for the continuing saga of Tree Trouble at the Beckmans!
