After a moment, I started in with my loppers chopping off the branches and my girls helped. Next thing I know, all the neighborhood kids (6 plus ours) showed up and were helping with the branches! Then, after that, another adult neighbor showed up with a saw and started helping. David got out his saw and then another neighbor came with his:) The short story is this---the trees were cleaned up!!!!!!
Another neighbor showed up with cupcakes and it was a great sight to see:)
Jessica said it looked like an Amish barn raising:)
We have great neighbors here and are so blessed! We serve an awesome GOD!
...notice the sunlight we now have in our front yard!!
