84 days after it fell, the brush is gone!

Our humongous brush pile is gone. Gone!

A crew from the Craighead County Highway Department was here shortly after 7 a.m. with a big John Deere piece of equipment with a grabber thing on the front and three dump trucks.

I knew something was afoot late yesterday afternoon when I noticed the John Deere machinery parked next to the brush pile.brush02

The crew did a splendid job and got it all over the space of about an hour. It took four dump trucks to haul away the debris from our yard in the wake of the Jan. 27 ice storm.

I added to the pile over the weekend and put three wagon loads of limbs onto it yesterday. We still have limbs to chainsaw and haul out of the west side of the yard, but we figure we can burn what's left. brush03
