Timber loader

I don't often meet anyone in the swamps but this week I met the operator of this timber loader. Think he was as surprised to see someone as I was. He was on my neighbor's land harvesting black ash. Many of those trees died because of drought conditions in the past years. Then yesterday, I met him again - on my land this time. The loader  had developed an engine problem and the repair truck could only get in as far as my open field where they were attempting a fix. My neighbor was there watching.   He said he had asked a DNR forester to check out where they were working. The good news is there is an excellent regrowth of black ash coming up. The bad news the forest won't be full grown for another 100 years.

Ӏ think ωhat you published ωas veгy reasonable.

However, think about thіs, what if you weгe to create a awesome pοst titlе?
I mеan, I ԁon't wish to tell you how to run your website, but what if you added something to maybe get people'ѕ attеntiοn?

I mean "Timber loader" is a lіttlе boring.
Үou might glаnce at Υahoo's front page and note how they create article titles to get viewers to click. You might add a related video or a related picture or two to grab readers excited about everything'ѵe got to say.

Just my opinion, it might make your webѕіte a lіttlе bіt moгe
іnterestіng.

My blog isn't about trying to be awesome, eye-catching, or having lots of "clicks". It's about life - my life - and the quiet joy of being able to live in a wonderous place like my backyard.
