I Looked Out the Window and What Did I See?

*JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION THIS POST WAS WRITTEN BACK IN APRIL, BUT I FORGOT TO POST IT, SO HERE YOU GO!

I looked out of my bathroom window the other day and this is what I saw:
(By the way, can you tell by the title that I spend a little too much time working in the nursery at church)!

Something yellow and way up high in the tree out back.  It took me a minute, but then I realized that it was Jared!
He had climbed up our huge pine tree in the backyard to saw off all the branches that had half-broken off in the last snow blizzard we had.     
(*ONCE AGAIN, SUPER OLD POST, THIS STORM WAS MID-APRIL!)


The snow was so wet, it was too heavy for the branches.  I kept hearing the branches snap and break all night long.  When I woke up the neighbors tree had completely toppled over!   And our trees in the back had HUGE branches just hanging there ready to fall at any second.  It was such a crazy spring snowstorm!


So, who said tree climbing was just for little boys?  Look at my man go!!

(it was fun reading all your comments on my blog... I actually did all of those posts in 2 sittings, a couple weeks apart and just changed the dates... I'm really wanting to keep up on my blog, so I can turn it into a book. scrapbooking, journaling, family history all in one!!)

I can't believe Jared was up in the tree. Are you sure sawing off the branches wasn't just an excuse to relive some of his childhood.

Go daddy! You are so brave. Just to tell you, did you get hurt or anything.
