Bye Bye Trees

When we first saw our house the one thing that stuck out to me was the TREES. We have/had 6 (about 75ft. tall) Pine Trees and 1 leaf (I'm not sure what it was)tree just in the front yard. In our back yard we have 10 Pine Trees and 14 Leaf trees. The Pine Trees make it hard to keep a lawn because of all the needles and cones it drops. It is quite overwhelming to mow the lawn. So Billy decided that he would get a chainsaw and we could learn to cut down trees (After finding out it would cost about $500.00 for every 4 trees we have cut down). So My Big Lumber Jack thought long and hard before cutting down our first HUGE Pine Tree. He tied the tree to another tree for safe reason (and because we didn't want it falling on our house). He also had another rope tied to the front of the tree for me to pull on (in the direction we wanted the tree to fall). He then cut a triangle cut into the front of the tree. Then it was my turn to pull as hard as I could(and with help from a nice but very nervous neighbor) we pulled while Billy cut the back of the tree. So my hands burning and my heart racing the tree started to fall (IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION). It was the biggest THUMP my heart and ears had ever heard. It was the biggest rush and yet relief I had had in along time (almost like a roller coaster).
