We have had a group of three trees in the backyard. This year, one of those trees died. We've known we needed to do something about it, but haven't gotten around to it. Our home teacher is Josh's Young Men's leader, and Ladd found out that we had this dead tree. So when they were looking for a service project for today, Ladd decided that our tree was it. So this morning, we had about 10 young men and 3 leaders show up to handle our tree. They did a great job--they had the tree down & hauled away and all of the debris raked off the lawn in less than an hour. They were rewarded with warm brownie and lemonade!
Thanks guys! I appreciate you giving up part of your Saturday to help with this!

How nice to have one less worry! The wind can get crazy in Idaho.
How nice of you to offer your tree for a service project! I'm sure the tree appreciated it! :) Looks like good times.....and way better than some of the service projects we did as youth! :)
Yeah, no kidding. I don't remember ever getting treats either, which may be why I always provide them!
