We had a thunderstorm a couple of weeks ago. After the storm you couldn't see the waterfall. This was because a huge limb of the mulberry had broken and fallen down. It split the trunk down to the bottom. Most of the limb was caught in lower branches so the whole thing was precariously balanced over the back of the waterfall.
This called for a tree trimming crew!
They came last week with gigantic trucks - which they BACKED all the way from the upper shed down to the pond!

The main truck had a bucket on it that took the tree cutting guy up and down and back and forth so that he could get his chainsaw in the right place to cut the limbs.
Naturally, Granddad wanted to watch the action. He had a great view from the bedroom window. It was fine entertainment for him!
Nothing more fun than watching people work.
I thought of you tree-climbing sorts as they scrambled up in the tree and swung down on ropes.
Granddad wasn't the only one watching the action.

This feisty bird was not fazed by the noisy saws and chipper - he just kept coming and going from his feeder.
When all was done and they'd cleaned up the twigs and sawdust and the trucks had trekked back up the yard and everything was quiet again, Granddad said: "Now what are we going to have done tomorrow?"
