chainsaws and goddesses

O.K.  decided the chainsaw was probably not my thing.  Hubby purchased a new one and he tried it out today on the property. I tried it.  I don't like it.  I'm paying people to take down trees lol.  On the other hand, my role may be better served as "wood goddess." 

It was a fun day at Wildbranch.  All sorts of interesting things are beginning to green up, plants I do not have the names for so I am definitely going to have to get a plant book for indigenous plants of the area.  Met with Bill "the builder" to go over some details regarding the basement and to talk about what trees needed to come down.  I will link you to his website once he finishes it.  So far he has been a considerate and thorough guy and I'm looking forward to working with him and his dad "Bob the builder."  You heard it right—Bob "The Builder,"  haha.  Bill said if the weather permits, they will begin next week to build the road and dig the basement.

Also received in the mail today a fat envelope from the REMC (local electric company), with a bunch of paperwork to fill out and a request for a check for $2K—far less than I had first imagined for putting in the electric in an undeveloped area.  So finally!  Things are beginning to move and I'm getting excited.
