A Tree Falls Down

We had wind storm that brought a tree in our yard down. We knew the tree was dead and instead of cutting it down ourselves we left it to nature. We had watched an interesting fungus grow at the base of the tree. It turned a fantastic red color and grew large. I wish I had taken pictures of it. Anyhow, the tree fell down in the night. Dan, discovered it in the morning as he had to cut part of it out of the way to get the car out of the garage.

It was still dark as Dan went out to leave for work.

He has now cleared the way to leave for work.

We have some great friends who are neighbors of ours. They saw the tree had fallen and wanted to be a part of cutting it up and clearing it away. They are from China and love doing anything with us that could be new experiences.
We are always happy to include them and appreciated the help.

I guess this was an opportunity to use a hand saw. And Corban was down with that.
He loved using a "Real Tool".

Chan loved using the hand saws as much as Corban.

With all these sticks around we found it was a good excuse to try out our new fire pit.
Thanks to Rick and Linda. Chan said he learned a new word Fire"Pit".
And yes the marshmallows have to come out too.

The kids loved this!

Vicky and Chan get a little bit of America at a time.
