Cleaned up much of the garden waste and began a new compost pile from all the huge pile of trimmings I made yesterday from four good sized trees.
I did an evil thing to one of my massive trees, which hangs over my new location for the pool. My heavy sawing job was not that different from what the power company does to everyone's trees when they get too near the power lines. I made a hatrack out of a nice shade tree. I cut it back harshly, but from a standpoint of educated expectation that it will grow back even better and stronger than it was by choosing my cuts very carefully. It just looks pretty barren right now and not that much different from a typical hatrack job.
I wasn't sure that I could still monkey my way up about thirty feet into a tree and saw big limbs out without hurting myself.
:lol:
