There's a lot more light...

and a lot more mess in our 'back yard' right now. It's made a huge difference -- it's so sunny out there! The tree crew dropped eight big oaks Monday. This is actually an 'after' photo, sort of. It was a lot crazier before, Michael has been working on it all week.

Our friend Mike was lending a hand today. We invited him over for a visit and then put him to work! Nice! Hmmm... I wonder why we don't have more company?!

It's an all-summer-long project, so if you're looking for Michael the next few months -- you now know exactly where to find him!
