Well I suppose you might be wondering where or what I have been doing? I have been building trellis for grapevines in my small vineyard and trying to get clean up of the land done so I can plant my blackberry plants and gardens. This is my dear friend Barbara, she came over to help me today, and to make sure I didn't kill myself  while cutting down some big trees that were dead and a threat to the dome, and the blackberry patch, once it is planted that is, and all of any of us outside. She is sitting on the first one I cut down, and I might add, I cut it down with my saw blade on the wrong way, big DUH with that one, but my favorite saw ever did it in spite of my ignorance. In fact the tree went exactly where I wanted it to go which is a total miracle! The second tree, it was a lot bigger, and I actually put the chain on my saw the right way for it, but try as I did, it decided to fall opposite of what I wanted it to fall, but nothing was torn up from it. Then came the cherry tree, it didn't go so well.

This is the 2nd tree down, it didn't fall the way I wanted, but at least it didn't tear anything up.

Whoops, the cherry tree actually went the way I figured it would, but I really tried hard to make it go a different way, but I failed. It fell on my tub, it is still usable, but it surely has character now, I told Barbara at least I would always have a story to tell when people ask me what happened to it. :-D

It will probably look like it is smiling or something? Once I get it cleaned off, that is after I buy another new bar for my little saw that is........

Best little chain saw ever, it has really been abused by me, the cherry tree sat down on it when I went to cut the fell cut. I had to abandon the saw while running, then I realized it was not going to fall immediately I ran over and turned it off, then the tree busted and split, which is what I was trying to tell Barbara, just before I started cutting the cherry tree, that if a tree splinters and busts, that is really dangerous, but fortunately the Almighty was watching out for me. I survived and the saw can be repaired. Until the next adventure, may God bring many blessing upon you all. Ozarkmoma
