The Front Range drought took a significant toll on our backyard evergreens. Unfortunately we lost two big trees we planted 20 years ago this spring. I had to remove a nice 12" diameter fir and a larger spruce. I cut them down with my "Barbie" chain saw (works awesome) in time for the "chipping program" in Peregrine and made some substantial slash piles out front.
Unfortunately, more trees were trashed when a big spring storm brought 15" of wet snow down on us.
So there was no rest for the weary as Kala & I got back out to clear more trees using "Barbie" and a 20 ft long tree saw. The slash piles got so much bigger but we were done in time for chipping, and the property is recovered.
Fortunately after such expenditures I was able to score some of the best tasting east coast IPAs I've had. My local retailer just had a few 4 pks ~ and it only happens once a year. Both are from The Alchemist in Vermont: Focal Banger & Heady Topper ~ delicious.
