I watch from the window and see her talking on cell phone.
About two minutes latter her husband drives up the road from the house in his 1 ton 4wd pickup. I am standing at the door and he points to the big limb, I nod and run out to help him throw a chain around the limb. He asks, "can I keep it?"
I tell him yes so he drags the 1/2 tree home for firewood!
The wife drives by in the van with a big grin, dry as a bone.
Only in KY would a road blocked by a tree be considered an opportunity to add to the fuel supply!
