Susan, the prime mover.

Susan has been the prime mover on this project. I may be the imagineer, but she makes it all come to life. That is a 30' trunk from an eastern ceder she is setting on. It came down after the Kentucky Ice storm in February this year. [That is a whole 'nother story!] I'm not sure what we'll use this wood for, probably  mill it into boards for the bathroom walls, and for a small closet.

 

My little blue tractor is her second best friend. She manages to get it to do things I would never think to try. Somehow, I seem to get it stuck in a mud hole whenever I use it! Sometime when I know she isn't looking over my shoulder, I'll tell the story of how our first little blue tractor ended up!

 

She's a beauty! [I refer to the upper photo!]

Tulip poplar trunk

This sucker is 60 feet long, and 22 inch diameter at the small end! It was standing in the wood below our dam, damaged by the winter ice storm. Most of the top had been broken out of it.
