the sky is falling!
Not really. But if one were Harper's size and were rudely interrupted from her piano playing (banging) by a tree crashing to the ground (it was a "controlled" fall) then I think that you might indeed think the sky was falling. And you, too, would come running to mommy in the scrapbook room and say "scawy, mommy! twee scary!" But in reality, it's just that we had to say goodbye to three lovely trees this week which were way past their prime, or as the loggers said, "at the end of their lifecycle."
They took down the first tree on Tuesday, and it came down in one solid piece. Heaven help me, I'm glad I missed the actual fall, because I think it would have freaked me out like it did H.

This photo with Harper in the corner cracks me up.

The second tree came down yesterday, and we happened to have a very nice view of the commotion from our back deck. So (of course) I have photos. They even asked me to photograph them. hee! This particular tree had to be taken down piece by piece because there wasn't any room for it to fall. The whole process was pretty interesting -- we even had our lunch while we watched -- it's definitely a spectator sport if you ask me!
Here's crazy climber dude on his way up...
...from Harper's perspective...
...and in for the closeup.
Here are a few of the tree in progress - the roofline of our house is on the left...Too bad I didn't crop those better so that the tree was in the exact same spot...pretend I did.

As you might guess, there was a lot of sawdust involved.Cole and I were sneezing like crazy! But finally, the tree came down.Thank you, TimberTigerTree!

    I finished cutting just in time to check out your post from today. How cute is Harper?! Sometimes I wish I could view the world from her perspective.

    BTW- I have a new found respect for all scrapbookers :)

About Us
      Hi! I'm Joanna, author of this journal. My husband Mark and I are photographers in Asheville, North Carolina. Most recently we collaborated on a 12 week beginner photography course, the contents of which you can find
    • here.
      • The name of our company, Tuesday's Frog, is based on an almost wordless children's book about frogs that go flying on lily pads one night. We love it because it tells a story in pictures. Cole & Harper are our children, and frequent (though not always willing) photography subjects. So here you'll find not only the story of our lives, but of those we've photographed as well. We'd love to tell your story, too!
