trimming te pine trees

One morning during Golden Week, DH cousin came over and we had a 1/2 day of trimming the row of pine trees that stand on the edge of the cliff overlooking the PIL garden.  Above you can see DH standing by the next one to be cut.  Right beyond him is the drop off.  You can also see how short they cut them down.  We're determined to not let them get out of hand again!
Cousin had a back hoe that he would tie a rope to to pull the cut branches over to the mountain side instead of letting them fall down into the garden.  My job was to pull the cut branches over to the pile for drying before burning (probably my job next fall!)
