June 18th...electric company

While we were gone to a technology conference this week, the electric company prepared for the power to come to the house. I knew that they had a right to clear trees if they were in the way and would affect the line, but I had no idea that they would just clear a huge path and cut down every tree in the way! Here's a picture of a view from the top. Keep in mind that you could barely see the road near the house, much less the whole field below and the entire road! I was upset at first because that was a LOT of trees that were cut, but then I did sign the piece of paper giving them permission, and after looking at the view, decided that it wouldn't be such a bad thing. We were planning on cutting down a lot of the trees anyway...okay maybe not as many as they cut...but I'm trying to take a surprise and turn it into something good. Anyway, the picture doesn't really do it justice because I wasn't standing right by the road when I took the picture, which is where you can really see the cut path. But hey...at least we'll have electricity!
