Walk/bike to school day

walking to school

Thursdays are walk/bike to school day in our district. With that in mind Alan and Lex set off to walk to school. Lex, Eve and I did the walk on Tuesday as well, but I underestimated the time (or underestimated how slow the kids walk!) and we were late for school, so Lex was a little nervous to try it again. They got out the door nice and early (and didn’t have Eve to slow them down) and made it to school right on time. We may try a family walk tomorrow. Leaving very early! :)

The trees are gone!

missing trees

See the two stumps just right of center? One has a rather large rock on it. There used to be rather large pine trees there. Now we have sunshine.

wood pile

I don't think this wood pile is properly stacked. That will be a project for another day.

from the backyard

From the backyard, looking towards the street, with our new sunny patch of lawn in the front right.

maple tree

He also trimmed many limbs from this maple tree. Leaves on the limbs were gently resting on the roof. For some reason insurance considers that to be dangerous :)
