    I see Emma is busy cleaning up all of those leaves and piling them for you. Wish I could get Giz to do that.

    She sure would like helping with squirrel watch. Chips in the stacks are the best. She goes nuts here when our crazy chippy wanders by. It's come within a couple feet of me many times. Giz was snoozin' in the garage door one day and that damm chip came right up behind her. I just moved enough to get him to take off... if Giz had seen him that close she's have blown out her throat shrieking... :hair::rootintootin:

    Best rounds carrier & picker upper isn't it?

    Giz will shriek at night if she hears something strange too... every time. Thankfully, she stopped doing it if it's just us getting up tho.
    I can imagine a shrieking blurr at 2 in the morning... :picard::D

    It sure go's alot quicker with 2 people Rock. :yes: Think what i'll do is have the sawbuck stationed in an open area over in the woods then just trailer the ironwood/elm to it as it gets pretty tricky working around all the trees.
