You know you are in the country…
When you step outside to enjoy a cool afternoon and hear the sound of a tractor in the distance. And that tractor is bailing hay two doors down the street. The machine is making the huge, round bails. Odd to see it running down the acreage, pause, and then expel this huge roll of hay.
Prior to Ike, rather than put boards over their window, a homeowner in Danbury rolled bales of hay up against their home for protection. Due to downed power lines, I was not able to visit the place to see if the home did ok.
My yard is clean !!! The crew worked for two hours yesterday with chainsaw, backhoe and a dump truck. While they were there, the property owner had them remove three nearly dead sycamore trees. I’ve worked with the crew for five years but never had an opportunity to really see them in action. It was as if they had been choreographed ~ they interact, give hand signals, dance around each other. Everything went so smoothly. Even the one near miss when a branch fell close to one guy it appeared to be part of their “routine”. They laughed it off and moved on. I did attempt to assist but only managed to get in their way.
