and climbing in trees without ladders
Allen and Tommy (a friend whose staying in a camper on our land) took some trees down,where our future pasture will be, on Sunday. It is amazing how big the roots are on some of them, especially the sweetgums. I have to say I am really glad to see the sweetgums go. They drop those little balls of spikes all over the yard. I know they have their place and I believe they are a native species but the only place I like to see them is deep in the woods somewhere.
The boys and I finally got outside for a while today to view the downed trees and the tremendous roots. They had a good time playing on the branches. After climbing all over the trees for awhile we took a walk to my husband's food plot (for the deer). The boys love to play there. Today they climbed ladders in trees. It's hard for me to see them climb so far up- I'm so proud they can climb so high and be so brave but a part of me just wants to throw up when I see them so high.
