When I looked outside yesterday morning my front yard along the road looked like a war zone because of the ice storm.
I had several BIG TREES that the county highway had to push back onto my property because they fell on to the roadway.
In addition I also had a couple trees that either split in two or were broken in half and were blocking part of the roadway.
HERE IS WHERE THINGS TAKE A STRANGE TWIST.
I bought this land at auction when the farmer/owner ran into financial problems, he was the kind of guy that very few could get along with including me.
One of his sons lives down the road from me and he to has never said more than a handful of words to me in the 20 years I have lived here.
Yesterday morning I see the son park in the roadway in front of my house and walk up to my door, he asked me if he could cut up the trees that had fallen "WHY HELL YES I SAID"
He along with one of his sons, a chainsaw and a farm tractor with log grappling claws made short order of cutting up and removing the all of the trees that either fell or broke in two, he even asked if could cut down a very large tree that was partially blocking my driveway as well as the county road.
He has an outside boiler/furnace and so he burns a lot of wood he said he will clean up all of the remaining small branches on a later date which he left in a neighbors field across the road.
This was was a heaven sent event because it would have taken me a long time to clean up the mess or I would have spent a lot of money having someone else do it.
I think my NEW YEAR IS OFF TO A GOOD START and maybe he and I will become good neighbors.
