Our Tree Line

We absolutely had to take advantage of the nice days we've had the last couple of weeks. We spent two whole days working on our treeline. Cutting barb wire, moving limbs, chainsawing dead trees, removing the TONS and TONS and TONS of poison ivy and burning it all in our brush pile. While it still looks like a TON of work, once we stepped back we were pretty happy with our progress! My goal is to be able to walk through barefoot- of course, we're on the 5-year + plan for our yard, so Jim let me know it will be a while before I can do that! Here's a little before and after of our work- you can see through the trees now! (This is only the first section)
Yesterday, (after a neighbor called me and said to LOOK out the window) we had a huge BEAUTIFUL bald eagle sitting on top of the tallest tree- maybe now, we'll attract more now that it's cleaned up a little! Crazy as it sounds, there's something to be said about hard work, getting dirty and being in the fresh air all day. Of course, we LOVE the payoff!
