What Happened to the Trees?

The pine trees in the back yard are getting bigger and getting into the power lines, Salt River Project came by to trim them up. When they trim they go straight up and they don't look very good. Ginger asked them if they could cut down the trees. They could and did.
Ginger asked them to leave the branches and pine needles to use for mulch in the garden.

John resting his legs before shoving more branches into the chipper.
 We rented a small chipper from Home Depot for the day, and after 5 hours had most all of the small branches chipped up and the bigger branches separated and ready to cut to length for the fireplace.
A few instructions on safety and operation.

And on to cutting wood.
  And after a long day of chipping and chopping, we went to Fuddruckers for some burgers.
Thanks Sister Winn and Sister McFadden and John for the help.
