A week ago today …
our three diseased and dying conifers were cut down …
… they housed a nest or two … or three .. belonging to birds including this dove who sat on this branch while the tree feller started cutting …. 
The blade was sharpened several times during the day …
.. and hoisted up the trees ….
… the ropes were tied …
… and pulled …
…. and tightened …
… and the trees were cut … 
… heavy logs were cut half ….
.. and squashing my garden in the process !!!! …
… and were carried away …
.. logs to play on …
… to a waiting rather-dilapidated vehicle … (!!!!!) … note the stone to keep it from rolling down our driveway – backwards !! …
… leaving us with sawdust …
.. logs to play on … … and a part of the garden to restore and an neighbours ugly house exposed!!!
The house is fine … it’s just the paintwork and THAT bathroom window overlooking our garden/I look right into from our front\side garden !!
I was kept busy over the weekend – our gardener didn’t pitch up on Saturday .. so had lots to do in the garden … we went out on Saturday evening .. and Sunday – to Jeanette’s so that Erin (who we looked after as C and N went to play golf) could play with the boys and their friends .. and then last night I sat and relaxed watching the Sunday night movie on TV …….
… sooooo … these are my Weekly Winners for this week … for more go to Lotus – (sarcasticmom)

That truck!!!!!Love the little feet on the log!
I sigh when I think of all the work you now have to do in the garden. And that truck. I notice the sides are tied to the truck with a rope as well. LOL
