Tree Cutting

We had a tree that needed to be cut down. It was growing around another tree, kind of like a vine wraps itself around a tree! This tree was dying and it was soon going to be killing the other tree. So, Jerry and Ted got busy. They had to tie the tree off to make sure it fell where they wanted it to. You can see the strap going to another tree. Click on the pictures to make them bigger. Ted is ready to start sawing.

Timber!!! Jerry could only hide behind the tree to keep safe. One branch did come down and put a cut in the top of his head! Of course he says he's okay...

He's still cutting. It was a very tall tree.

Lord, thank You for helping the guys get the tree cut safely. Please help Jerry not to get infection in his cut. Thank You for the time we're had together.
