The weekend before my mother-in-law
unexpectedly passed, my travel buddy hubby and his best cottage mate finally
coordinated the dissection of the last fallen tree (from the ice storm) stuck in our shoreline.
They had tried several times to
connect but as it would have it, day-to-day life got in the way; until finally
the morning arrived.
A couple of efforts in
July (one seen above) to remove the bulk of the tree from stump had my husband realizing that no
matter what he tried, this sucker was NOT going to float away. It would have to
be dismembered and removed to shore piece by piece.
With Stella (our floating picnic
table) anchored to aid with keeping the tools dry, and wee Katie Kate once again
was in supervision mode, the project began.
They landed in the water that
Saturday morning just past 10am, I served them lunch around noon, and the last
of the tools were slugged out of the water about 2pm. Words can’t describe how
blessed we are to have such great neighbours in he and his wife. They are truly amazing.
So, check their effort out... Below are just a few photos of the last of the water trees from hell that have literally consumed our time since opening the cottage in May of this year.
