Day 18 - Hurricane Ike

This is the last big tree lost to Hurricane Ike that we haven't taken care of.  The trunk is too big to cut through with our chain saw and there are too many surrounding trees to burn it in place.  I guess we will have to leave it here to rot unless we decide to pay someone to cut it up for us.  You can see the stumps of two other trees it took out when it fell.  These were some of the 8 trees we lost in the hurricane.  We never cleared this little area of the yard because of the beautiful big trees in it, but it was the hardest hit by the storm.
