the old apple tree RIP 10/12/06

This tree, much beloved and mourned by birds and humans alike. I hacked alot of the branches off by hand but after two days I began to feel hopeless ( and had really sore hands). The chipper crews that came along to pick up the brush were fabulous and chain sawed the remainder of the trunk and branches and fed it into the machine. It was truly a godsend and they were fantastic about it.
