I came home early from work Friday with plans to do nothing. At that point it had rained five days straight with no end in sight. Well, I look in the backyard and see that my favorite hackberry had given up and broken off in the middle and taken out a healthy green ash (
). My buddy from down the road came up with his son and we put it down. The center was rotten, which is where is broke off, and full of carpenter ants. We also took down the broken ash and another dead ash. I finished cutting and splitting it over the weekend. Last night I brought two loads up from down the road and now it's time to stack.
The first pic is the aftermath. The second two pics are the pile, on the right side is the hackberry and ash. The other pile is the stuff from down the road.
