Tree trimming

We spent a large part of Saturday cutting a couple huge branched off of our Box Elder tree. We were worried about it falling onto our neighbors property (Box Elders tend to be weak trees). So our friends the Allen's came and helped us. It was quite the team effort.

Pulling the limb to make sure it falls the right way

Success! (it really isn't that close to the house)

Now we are left with dirty snow!

The wood piles. Bring on the bonfire weather!
