Lumberjack by day

A few weeks ago we headed up north to Mikado for a visit.  We headed up early on Friday and had a pretty easy drive up.  Theresa, Tim and baby Vivian were also up for the weekend.  With so many hands on deck Rod decided that we should take a giant 80 foot pine tree down.  While Rod knew what he was doing, the rest of us were pretty green.   With Dave on the tractor, Tim guiding the line and Rod working the chainsaw, we all watched from the safety of the house as the giant tree came crashing to the ground.

Ajax was a tremendous helper and a very hard worker.  He pulled branches, piled them up and hustled with the adults.  I was very proud.
