That is the left hand corner of the deck in the bottom right of the photos...we've opened the yard up to let in sunlight and to allow better viewing of those majestic oak trees (of which you can only see one in the picture). It looks HUGE to us out there right now, and I may very well spend the rest of my summers here mowing the lawn, but the quality of light in our house has vastly improved and I can visualize how to use our outdoor spaces now.
And what fun it was to watch! The men cutting the trees were amazingly skilled at figuring our which direction a tree would fall, and they only had an 'almost' once, as in they had one tree that started falling toward the garage but they stopped it by holding it up until that yellow vehicle (first photo) came in and saved the day by pushing the tree away from the house. After that I had less fun watching, but it was still amazing how quickly and easily they took care of 40+ trees.
Oh, and Grandma is recovering from her surgery nicely, but she'd like you all to know that the rumors about hospital food are true. She very serioulsy told my mom today that her family is full of such good cooks that she's been utterly spoiled until now! Note to self: bring food upon next visit.
