Trim That Tree!

After we finished cleaning up from the brush burning on Sunday morning, both Lisa and I needed to rest for a while. After a couple of hours, we took up a different challenge: trimming the cottonwood tree. Lisa had looked over what needed to be cut, and decided that her reciprocating saw would be up to it. That's good because the electric chainsaw needs a new blade, and we've not gotten around to tracking one down.

Lisa and I put the tools away and admired our work from our chairs on the front porch. And then we said we were done for the day. Both of us were tired and sore from all of this work. We're not as young as we used to be, but we did manage to get a fair bit of work done.
