Removing the Pine Tree--Part 1

I love projects that other people do for me :)

BEFORE...

The husband says I'm a tree hater.

The husband is mistaken.

I am not a tree hater

but I am most definitely a sap and pine needle hater.

Didn't get a picture of THE chain saw TOOL

Did get a picture of this amazing splash of yellow...

candy corn garland--LOVE IT!

THE PROCEDURE
Unfortunately my girls and I were at the movie theater watching Ramona & Beezus so I missed most of the action.

AFTER...

The tree is down.

Maybe my neighbor will stop giving me dirty looks now that there won't be any more pine needles in her driveway or sap on her car.

I haven't forgot about the pantry.

D says It's better to plan too much and get only half of it finished than to plan nothing and get it all done.

My hubby has accused me of being a tree hater too. We removed 2 large spruce trees and 1 ginormous pine this year, which accounted for 60% of the trees in our yard. I am certainly not missing the needles or the sap, but we are loving the new view!

Daryl Hoole (aka D) says in her book, It is sad to hear a woman lament (I had to look that word up, it means--to express sorrow, to mourn), "I am just a housewife." If only she could realize that she is a homemaker by divine appointment. Making a home is a special mission for a woman. It is no accident. This is where God intended her to be...This task is second in importance to none...running a home challenges any other role in requiring intelligence, ingenuity, and abilities unnumbered. It...can bring the greatest joy and satisfaction of any type of work. We women must be proud to be homemakers.

I am proud to be a homemaker (and an American) and hope all you homemakers out there are proud to be too!

The Rules

1. I have to work on cleaning, organizing, or finishing something every day of 2010 with the exception of Saturday (since that's the day we get ready for Sunday), Sunday (it's a commandment not to work on Sunday Dueteronomy 5:12-15), holidays, and vacations.
2. I am to use the book, "The Art of Homemaking" by Daryl V. Hoole for daily inspiration and direction.
3. I can enlist help from my family and friends when necessary.
4. I am allowed to do a project on a Saturday, Sunday, or Holiday IF it doesn't interfere with any family fun or break any commandments.
5. Anyone can play along!
