Renewable energy

I spent most of yesterday cutting down a tree limb on the big oak tree in front of Rancho de BCP. The limb made the tree look a little off balance. But, the real reason I decided to cut it down was it's removal would allow more early morning sun winter sun to come streaming in to the house. Once the I finish cutting the limb up it and it's branches will be used to fuel my Franklin wood stove to further provide heat in the house. A few more dollars in MY pocket and a few less sent to the gas company. And I've got a number of other trees that need trimming too.
