September Camping

It's our annual camping trip with Jon's parents to the Uinta's. Normally we go fishing at least five times but this year we didn't even go once. Jon and I were both sick and sitting by the fire just sounded like more fun. In order to enjoy the fire we had to cut down a tree for more firewood. It's okay, Jon has a permit. It was rainy most of the time (of course) and even hailed, but we had a great time and as always it is just nice to get away and enjoy the great outdoors.

The poor tree has no idea what's coming to it

It's Hailing

New Landscape

Our backyard has a new landscape thanks to Jon. We had a few trees on the north edge of our property that hung over the neighbors driveway and garage that could become questionable during the winter months. Our neighbor told us that last winter he was a little nervous that one of the trees would topple on top of his motor home. We didn't really want to buy a damaged motorhome and decided that it would be cheaper to just cut down the troublesome trees. Jon was able to use some equipment from work and cut down two trees and trimmed another one. Now that the trees are gone it has dramatically changed the scenery. We can rest easy knowing that our trees won't cause damage to our neighbors property.
