Timber!!

Two of the five trees came down! 

Last night about 3am we were awoken to a loud thunderstorm and it rained all day until about 3pm.  Travis got his gear on and got the trees down. 

The next door neighbor comes over and sees Travis sawing the tree and stands right in the fall path. Travis stops cutting and the neighbor is complaining we are cutting trees. We explain that we have to so the well driller truck can get in. He doesn't care, he starts carrying

on that this oak tree is special to him and that if we cut it he wants the wood. I'm thinking that drinking water is important to me and the tree is going. Next spring once we get settled we are going to start planting a food forest so we will be replacing plus more of the trees we are taking down. I'm not sure what his deal is???
