After many tries of finding someone to cut our pines, We found the best of all....Mr. Larry Raper. He is a one man and two mules loggin team!! We were all very excited to have him cut our pines. One of the reason we loved him cutting our logs, was that there was a much less chance of him hurting our big beauitful oaks we have on our lot and not to mention, it was REALLY neat to watch.He came out Monday morning September 27 and cut about half the pines off our lot with his chain saw. He came back the next morning and brought his 2 mules and skidded the logs out and then loaded them on his truck.
The picture above is of Mr. Larry sharpening his chain saw and all the pines thats fixing to GO!!!
This picture is of a pine falling!
SO EXCITING!!!

Hi Ashley! I came onto your blog by way of one of your family friends on Facebook. (Not just a lurker!) Initially because of the name, Charrier. My great grandmothers maiden name was Charrier, from Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana. Anyway, I wanted to let you know I LOVE your pictures of the mules. First the subject matter, I just love mules. Second, the pictures themselves. I'm not a photographer. I wish I was, but... Whatever camera, film or lack of you used was perfect for the pictures. It reminded me of old WPA Kodachrome pictures. Thank you for sharing. Your pictures are beautiful.
