In the Yard!

Had a most wonderful day!  I spent it in the yard.  That means I spent it doing yard work and I loved it.  That is perhaps one of my favorite things to do.  I went to work trying to trim the enormous pine tree in the backyard.  I am concerned with it height and how full it is that it could end up going down in a big windstorm.  I want to thin it out and got to work on doing some of that.  It is a challenge.  I have reached about as far up the trunk as I can reach with a ladder.  I now need to start climbing the tree.  I decided to halt such activities as my arms were tired, I was tired and falling out of a tree 20+ feet up isn't my idea of a good time.  Besides that my arms and legs are completely hammered so a little break was good.  I still had to cut up downed branches and hall them to the street.  I hauled the apple tree branches over, dug up some sod and piled it up on top of buckets full of pine needles.  It was a bit of a mess.  I also edged and mowed the yard.  Later Natty and I went over to the tennis courts to practice some .  Then I gave Borden Jenkins a hand with a rather large tree he has to cut down in his front yard.  Fun for sure.  My goodness, my body is burning and irritated all over right now.  Well, that is what a day in the yard does for you.  Love it.
