12/14

We had sort of a crummy weekend. 

Chris tried hunting on Friday, but didn't see a thing.  Saturday we went out to cut up some of the wood in the house so we could burn it in the fireplace.  As soon we got there he got sick.  We are pretty sure he ate some bad mayo at lunch.  Oops!  Sunday it rained all day.

I did get a bit done today.  I went out by myself donning my orange hat and wielding a pruning saw.  I cut away branches that were overhanging the driveway so that we can get the big truck with a dumpster in there.  I made a huge burn pile and have a few branches I could not drag away alone.  It felt so wrong to be pruning away branches that were bigger than the biggest tree in my yard at home. 

Apparently sawing branches must sound like a deer in rut as I had a buck come check me out.  Of course I screamed and he stopped dead in his tracks then ran away.  He did come back later but I still was no friendlier.

Good News!  Chris got me a dumpster!!!  It will be here on Tuesday.  I can't wait, what a nice Christmas present.
