Christine, the lumberjack

Did I already mention that I have a fabulous wife? One that isn't afraid of making her hands dirty and if necessary do jobs that other women (or men!) would never dare to do? Today she gave yet another demonstration of what she's capable of. She took her chainsaw (yes, her chainsaw) and went up the hill right next to our house because there were some dead and deformed trees to be cut down. One of which was well over 15m tall and nearly as thick as the blade of her chainsaw! She admitted that she was indeed a bit scared. Who wouldn't be, standing on a steep slope with such a dangerous machine in your hands and cutting down a big tree that could just as well land on your head. But she did it. And how! The tree fell exactly where she hoped it would, right in between two bushes that she absolutely wanted to preserve, which left her a space of about 4m for the trunk to fall into. And it fell right in the middle of it! Oh... how proud she is... and how proud I am of her!  Just look at that happy smile on her face! :-)

What a woman...
