Spring may see young men's thoughts turn to fancy but it turns old mens thoughts to chainsaws and fires. We have been concerned about a couple of the trees for a while now so we hired a tree feller to assist us to "prune" 17 of the native gums. The biggest challenge was the sugar gum on the fenceline - truely scarey to watch it sway in the wind and listen to it crack more down the centre on a windy night. The boys trimmed a mere 37 foot from the top - leaving at least equal to that standing. They managed to leave controlled devastation in their wake, and Chas has been busy all week making piles of branches and leaves to burn. Well today was such a beautiful day that he just couldn't resist setting fire to a couple of piles.
