Look What Was Waiting For Us At Home

My eyes and my heart are aching for home.  We really, really love our home.  Being away for so long and living in someone else's home always underscores for us what we think we did right in building our own.

But coming home also means a small window for repairs.

Yes, we lost an old pine tree while we were out of town.  One of our sons has taken our two chainsaws home for maintenance so all we can do right now is look at the mess.  Ah well, just adds to the rustic charm of country living...

We also have a huge oak tree that was struck by lightening and the electric company will have to come deal with it because it's too close to power lines.  All we can do with it is look at it and wait patiently for the electric crews...

However, we may be able to get a bonus out of the oak tree.  Sometimes the power company brings a chipper and creates mulch as they clear out their easements.  I've asked that they empty their mulch trucks on our land as they move through the fall clean up season.  We can use all that mulch to "bed down" the garden and flower beds for the winter.
