Last weekend we finally cut down the apricot tree that died like two years ago. Notice how there is barely any bark on the tree? Oh yeah, my mom (Grandma Marilyn) and I totally peeled the bark. Plus, see that itty-bitty nick in the tree about the level of the ladder shelf? That is where we cut with the itty-bitty handsaw. And then Geoff came in with a chainsaw and cut it all down in like 45 minutes. It is called cooperation.
Bernie held the rope in an attempt to have the pieces fall in a somewhat controlled fashion. The first (massive) log did not fall as intended, and broke the fence. Doh. Everything else went nicely, however. I guess a broken fence is better than a broken Geoff or a broken swingset.
Grandma Marilyn has a hurt foot. Hazel is two and (1) likes to comment on EVERYTHING, all the time and (2) likes to mimic people. She pointed out that Grandma has one boot and one shoe. And then she got on one boot and one shoe. It was very cute. Remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
And then, just today Hazel told me to come see and this is what I got. She said, "mom, get the camera." And I did. And she took her hands off the handles for just a minute. But wouldn't look at me while she did it. Still, I think she has a future in the circus.
Just a cute shot post-bike ride.
Finally, Hazel and Nacho having a nap together.

That Hazel is a daredevil. You need to get her a real pony and she can one day be in the circus, or a trick rider at the rodeo.
