Tree Removal


Remember when I showed you a picture of me standing on this tree stump?  We were waiting for the rain to stop so we could bring in the heavy machine to take out all the roots.


Well, it finally dried out enough to do it.



The roots were on top of the ground and had to be pulled out first.
It made a terrible mess of the yard.




Then the stump could be removed.
It left a huge hole in the ground.





We lost a good chunk of our backyard!




Then the Duke smoothed everything out and planted seeds.





And he put up a fence to keep us out!


But one day something magical happened. . .
It all turned GREEN!




And the Duke took down the fence and we had GRASS!





Oh joy!  Life is good again :)


Kisses,

  4. Emma Rose! What action in your own yard! Is that the Duke driving the Bobcat? That's what's on our street along with the Caterpillar. Oh...and yes, the construction guys were, for the most part, young and hunks!! We love your yard now. The Duke sure knows how the spice things up there for you to roll and play! It looks beautiful!!! Lots of love, Debbie and Holly

  12. Hi Emma Rose, isn't grass just wonderful when you have an itchy back! The duke sure made a good job of the re-seeding, I bet you have great fun playing out there now.

  14. That looks like great grass to roll in. Our grass all burned up this summer in the hot sun. Did you get a chance to dig before the fence went up?
