Busy Lee Family: Tree Pulling = Hard Work!

Tree Pulling = Hard Work!

Ugh. I dislike tree pulling... I didn't like the looks of our half dead trees so when Irene nicely knocked down one tree we figured we could easily yank the other one out of the ground too... WRONG! Almost three hours later of digging, attempting to pull with the 4-wheeler and then attempting to pull with the jeep and digging some more... we FINALLY got the tree roots out, and the metal basket that encased the original bulb of the planted tree. What a PAIN in the neck!

NOW, we can plant nicer trees and ones we will (hopefully) enjoy for the rest of our lives!
