This is my place for writing and reflecting on life here in the mountains. Close to the sky, close to my children and family and most certainly feeling the closeness of God my Savior.
i love the heights, and have a reasonable fear of falling from 20 feet or more, I think I may have undercharged this nice couple, at $200 to drop this and cut it into 18" pieces, yah, too cheap, but good money for 3 hours, and extra adrenaline.
You really do love that chainsaw, don't ya?! I tend to feel bad for the felled trees. Guess there's good reasons they need to come down or get trimmed sometimes tho-
I used to tree-climb alot as a teen-ager. I've been that high up without a ladder before, but had branches to step on... I've stayed pretty grounded in my old age lately.
Wow, that's some tree. I have about 5 more like that in my yard, just this one felt the need to fall on my house though. I wonder if the homeowners insurance would cover flying you in?...lol, probably not.
Living life, higher at 7000 feet elevation. Where the smell of pines, a distinct nip in the air, the sunset and sunrise displays of color and light fill your soul and set your spirit soaring. From high atop the mountains, nowhere near the city, I think, I write, I try to make you laugh. It is just me, my oxygen deprived brain and my bird and squirrel friends.
I am a lover of God, and I am a lover of life. My three wonderful children help me be a better man, and I consider fatherhood my most important role. These kids have made my life meaningful and filled with beauty. Nothing compares to them or gets between us.
My mom lived 91 years and as youngest I was privileged to make sure she was comfortable and safe in her own home, was never alone, had plenty of friends and family coming around. She knew, before she passed away, how much we kids appreciated all she did for us over the many years.
I am the youngest of five. I have ADD and it makes me fun, or irritating, depending on who you ask.
Most of all I am real, so this blog has fun aspects and then serious writings, too. You get both, for one click of the mouse.

I admire your courage, because I'd never have the guts to get on a ladder even a fraction as high.

Whoa, I'm getting even dizzier!
