When we got home we and a new project! One of the main branches of the willow tree broke off at the trunk. It didn't fall completely because the arching branch hit the ground and held the rest against the tree. Jack and chain saw went to work! It was a BIG branch! 
I've been working out in the back yard and the gym so it made moving the sections of the branch pretty easy. There was a lot to move too!
The willow needs more trimming but we'll wait until fall. This windfall opened up the south side of the tree to sunlight so my "shady spot" isn't going to be as shady. I think Jack trimmed it up very nicely. He spent some time working in the woods as a choker setter! He knew what to do with the chain saw! In Oregon in the 60's and 70's I guess it was a rite of passage for a young man to work in the woods. Atleast long enough to know they didn't want to do it their whole life! Jack went on to be a lineman for PP&L instead... a WHOLE lot less dangerous?
With the work done we kicked back and relaxed on our fully equiped patio! It is sooooo nice. Caleb did a great thing for us pu

Our big tree came down on 8/8 and I will post pics of that amazing feat when I get them from Sallie.
