Trees Out

Now the trees are gone! We had numerous large oaks and a sycamore tree in close proximity to the previous house and the tree guys have cut them down and taken then away. Tomorrow is stump grinding day. The concrete footer dudes come tomorrow also. Things are really moving quickly!
I spent the afternoon hanging around the camper just in case the tree guys needed something...with no shade from the trees it gets really hot!! Plus, with them working where they were I couldn't have the "right" electricity so I had no A/C in the camper. Everything else works but that. Mom and dad came out to see the progress and stayed for dinner with us. We've taken to eating out on the "porch". Once the intensity of the sun wears off and the trees that are left shade things it's comfortable outside. It's really nice to sit outside because there is no TV, we only have cell phones and they're inside, it leaves time for conversation. Conversation is a lost art.
The pups are pooped. They hung out in the heat of the camper with me, ran like crazy around the yard. Once the tree guys are done we "rig" the front gate closed and they get all 2 acres to run on. Sue really stretches her legs and runs a lot. She keeps the squirrels on their toes.
More tomorrow.
