This morning before the winds picked up very much Darin and his Dad got to work trimming some of the limbs on our trees. If you haven't seen our yard we have LOTS of trees. There were just a few big ones hanging too close to the house that I wanted down if the wind gets bad. Darin had trimmed a few yesterday but was glad to have his Dads help today for the big ones.
I think Darin likes the power behind the chainsaw!
Amberly just had to climb the ladder and get in on the action! She's such a cute helper!
Let me just say that when they were outside doing this it was very hot and the humidity was high. As soon as they finished they both came inside and instantly took showers!It is now 6:30 pm. The winds have started picking up more and we're expecting some feeder bands to be here in the next few hours. Darin, his Dad, and Eyn are in the middle of Monopoly, Amberly is watching, and Trent and Elizabeth are hiding out in her room doing something. Everyone is anxiously waiting for the storm to hit here. Galveston is already getting flooded really badly. We live about 70 miles Northeast of Galveston and are still expecting Hurricane strength winds here. I've decided that the worst part of the storm is waiting. Waiting to see what will happen and if it will. Waiting, Waiting, Waiting.
Where did you put the limbs you don't want does out side we are here too and watching it all day we had to turn it off and get out of the house for a wile let the kids play with the kites and pretend they are flying fun right keep safe and dry.
ReplyDeleteWe actually put the limbs in a secure place beside our house. Hopefully they will be fine there. Thanks!
