Mission accomplished!

Whew! No one can accuse me of being a couch potato this weekend. Last weekend I began taking down one of two small trees in my front yard that had become unattractive, in spite of cutting them back each year. I had quite a pile of debris for the Town to pick up last Monday. But I had barely made a dent in the job. Yesterday and today I finished the job. One of my neighbor's yelled across the street to me yesterday, "Hey, Sherry, I didn't know you were a lumberjack!"

I responded, "Neither did I!"

I was using an old hand saw that is long past its prime. But I don't trust myself with a chain saw.

I would take a picture of the big pile I accumulated yesterday and today but now the rain has started. I was working in a drizzly rain this morning.

I want to plant a medium size flowering tree either near where these two trees were or maybe somewhere else in the front yard. One of my sons is going to come over and take out the stumps for me. I'll be glad to help with that job, but for me to do it myself would be suicide!!!

For now, though, I'm going to put a load of laundry in the washer and make another pot of coffee.
