More Trees Are Down

With all the rain and high winds we have been having over the past couple of weeks we know we could lose some trees but we had a bit of a surprise the other day when in the middle of the afternoon there was a huge crash that sounded like thunder yet there was not a storm in the area.  The crashing sound was actually three trees that had fallen in the holler just below George and Lisa's house.  At first George and Tim thought is was just one big tree but after going down to the area and looking at the tree it ended up being three trees.  They had rotted away at the base of the tree from ants tunneling in and living in the tree.  When they began cutting up the big tree they even discovered the queen's nest.  With the removal of a tree near us and now with the three trees in the holler and then four more to be taken down George and Lisa are going to have enough firewood for a few years.  Unless we get a fire pit then I think we could get rid of some firewood for them!
