Saws, both chain and jig

On our walk today we encountered a fallen tree. It looked as if its roots had been dislodged by all the rain rushing down the small stream just behind it yesterday.
We had to follow George and pick our way through its branches.

Which reminded me. The day before yesterday we walked in the woods and I jumped when a man appeared just ahead of us. He was dressed in full protection gear and my first thought was - naturally enough - Ghost Busters!

His friend was also loitering, chain saw in hand, causing Husband to say, 'There should be another one of you.'
'Oh no, please don't,' I whispered. But he did, in his best Irish accent, 'Then there'd be tree fellas.'

The two tree fellers chose to ignore him.

We returned home to find I'd bought three jigsaws on ebay while I was out. Note to self: stop buying jigsaws. It has become both an addiction and an obsession.

Mike's remark was HILARIOUS! Those guys either had no sense of humor or didn't hear him.

The tree fellas must have been a sight to behold. Are you sure you didn't stumble across a filming location?

That's my kind of joke! Enjoy your jigsaws.
