We woke up pretty early this morning, but we didn't get up. Instead we surfed. When we did get up we ate breakfast and went out to do battle with the trees. After a little over 4 hours of branch cutting, branch hauling, trunk cutting, and burning the front was done. Ellen managed to get all of the branches burned, so the barrel area is clean. We're both very sore.
That makes 12 trees that we've cut down and disposed of. There are 5 trees in the back yard and one by the trailer to go. We may stop when the trees in the back are done. I'm going to try a new approach. I'm going to cut all of the branches from the trunks before cutting the trunks down. I'm also going to cut the larger branches to length while they are still on the tree. It's going to take extra time because I can't drive the mower up to the trees.
The rest of the afternoon was a nap, surfing, and football.
