A New Pole

Hi everyone.  It's me, Mitch. 
Guess what I have in my mouth?
 Did you guess right?  

I took a bite of my apple, picked it up and we're continuing on our morning walkie.
 This is the corner of our property where the big tree came down.  We have a new pole and all that's left of the big tree is the stump.  The workers have been working hard!
 This neighbor of ours has 2 Labbie girls - one black and one chocolate.  His Labs are littermates and we run into them often on our walkies.  Irene made this tree fall on his garage.  He said it was an easy fall with no damage!  WHEW!
 Who the heck are you?   Want to join us for walkies?
 Our neighbors, Chris and Heather, lost their tree that was uprooted by Irene.  Luckily, it didn't do any damage.  It landed on their stone wall.  So many of our neighbors have enough firewood to take them through the winter!
Things are getting back to normal at our house.   The yard is pretty much cleaned up and mom and dad are back on the project clapboarding!  Yup, we're supervising and doing a great job!




So until next time...............

Yer friends,
Mitch and Maggie

    Hi Maggie and Mitch, we're glad that everything is fine at your home. You'll have to figure out how to keep dry when it rains again if your mom's not going to cover you guys up with an umbrella.

    Some pretty big trees took a tumble in your neighborhood. Nice to know their lives were not given in vain. Free firewood!
