Chopping Up Branches

We have two dead sycamore trees in our front yard (thank you cheap builders who failed to put quality trees in our yard!). Yesterday Stuart got out his chain saw and cut down one of them. It went amazingly well - no one and no vehicle was hurt in the process! After it was down, I helped him cut the branches down to a smaller size and we loaded them in the bed of his truck and hauled them off. However, we ran out of truck bed space before the branches were all gone so today we were still working on the last of the big branches left in our yard.

Nicholas went out to his toy box in the back yard and got some of his gardening tools. He brought his shovel out to the front yard and started using it to "chop" the branches. He's such a good helper! He was really working hard and didn't want any help - well, at least for the first ten minutes until the newness wore off!
