Hanging out in February

Since it began to get nice, we started on some yard work.  First order of business, rescue our Gingko tree from a strangling vine.  I did not take this task lightly.  This was a clamatis vine that went up our tree at least 20 feet.  I was worried the gods of Mother Nature were going to descend upon me for taking it down.  But it did not produce very nice flowers, and it took away from the beauty of this 100 year old tree.  So down it came.....it literally took us the entire day to get it down

Part of the pile after we were done.  We kept finding 'things' in the tree once the vine was gone, so the kids call the Gingko the 'Treasure Tree' now.
Would you like some pancake with your syrup?
The kids 'switching' clothes, goofy!
