Storm Clean-Up - Sunday







Jay and I were dreading the tree clean-up that was going to be necessary in our yard. But we received a pleasant surprise. The City of Coon Rapids came to our neighborhood with big dump trucks and a crew to clean-up people's yards. They cut down trees and moved everything to the curb. The trucks came along and with a large claw picked up everything all hauled it away. Eric was enthralled by the process and watched for a very long time. Jonathan and I were busy raking up the small stuff in the yard and throwing it in the dump trucks. Clean-up took place all day long, and we eventually got used to the constant buzzing of the chain saws. It was amazing how quickly the neighborhood was cleaned up. And if the drive-by gawkers would have stopped and helped things would have happened even more quickly.
