Wheelbarrows

We had a tree go down sometime in the last couple days.  It happens a lot around here.  We finally had a minute tonight to go clean up all the branches, sticks and twigs (yes, they are all technically different).  Of course we also had to cut up the tree itself into moveable logs.  Here is where the wheelbarrow comes in handy.  Instead of hauling one log at a time, we could fill the wheelbarrow to overflowing and in a few short loads, we had the whole tree cleaned up.
Apparently the wheelbarrow originates from Ancient Greece.  Makes sense - they were pretty brilliant people!  I'm thankful for the extraordinary, time saving, back saving wheelbarrow today.  A.
