Pictured above is about 1/20th of the pruning debris I produced during 6 hours of working in the yard. I removed 100s of saplings and cut down a few 20-foot-tall trees. The prior owner of our property let the forest grow wild for several decades, and we are hoping to introduce a little more diversity to the ecosystem. I was quite exhausted by the end of the day, but also 3.1 pounds lighter at my next morning weigh-in. Normally, I prefer to chip away at such large undertakings, but this is the first dry day in several and I will be busy for the next few. The work is much easier before the trees have had a chance to leaf out which is just about to start.
