At least we stayed at home, though.  We cut down the small tree in our front yard.   Paul had a small chain saw and was cutting up the big parts, while I had my hand clippers and was cutting up the small branches into small chunks.   Paul has been working on cutting down some ivy in the back yard, so between that and the tree, we should be able to fill up one of our trash dumpsters.   The larger bits of our tree will be kept out in the back and used for firewood this winter.  

Don’t worry everyone…. Elizabeth LOVES to be outside and watch.  With every gust of wind, she laughs, kicks, squeals, etc.
