![]() So it's been a week since Martin cut the hallow 'bee' tree down. After burning and smoking them out, he was finally able to chop it into more manageable pieces. Here are two big pieces we'd like to keep. We're not sure what we'll do with them yet, but I'm sure we'll think of something. ![]() I've been wanting to take a picture of the inside of this hallow tree for a week now, but too many bees still stubbornly keeping vigil was preventing me from getting too close until today. ![]() Kevin is shows off his brawn. This guy has been working like an ox, as has Martin, for days now. I can't believe the size of some of these tree limbs. They've been lugging them across the river and placing them in a big pile, ready to burn. It simply would be too difficult and heavy to lug them up the hill on our side of the property. ![]() But on our side of the river, the men piled all the branches with the leaves. ![]() They'll burn those as well. It will burn for days, I'm sure. Look at the size of it! It will be nice once is all nice and clean. It's looking pretty messy at the moment.

Love love love reading your blog and wish I could be there relaxing, reading, painting, and enjoying nature. Beautiful. (We're in the middle of a snowstorm here in Indiana this week before Easter!)

Note to self: proof read before hitting "submit!" Sorry about above spelling errors. And I meant "chunks" of beech tree, not chinks! And "too" poor not "to" poor. Our daughter lives in Seattle and we save to go there, which eliminates visiting other places on our retirement income.

Hello Judy, thanks for your kind feedback. So nice to know someone is on the other end enjoying our adventure. Thank you for the suggestion for the hallow tree stumps. Great idea!! I don't miss the long winters... a little cold and snow are okay, but all the way into late March is just too much... for me anyway! Stay warm, spring will soon be around your corner. Cheers! - Anne
