Saw up six huge limbs I cut down from a major maple tree that was shading my pool.

I will age most of the wood for grille smokers, but much of the new growth (basically, anything I can hack off with my machete - anything smaller than two thumbs side-by-side will easily succumb to the machete and be headed for the compost heap) will be next year's mulch.
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Wise use of Mother Nature's gifts.

Not a lot left of this day but I think I'll post while enjoying a beer.

Read just a little bit more, and then I will sleep.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

One has to take care of the cuddly parts of oneself indeed.

I hope to be  :rofl:

I asked the new neighbours if they could take care of their hedge and fence. Others had asked before me, but, because of a language problem, they did not get through. Now, I had heard someone was there who did understand my language, so I asked again.

The hedge and fence were tipping over, and should be cut back/down, and replaced. The guy I spoke to said he would not be doing that, but that coming Monday, he would be fixing it after work.

We had lots of wind and rain on Sunday, when I came back from a birthday party, the whole hedge and fence were almost horizontally placed. The alley we have to use can't be used. The thought of this guy going to fix it with one post and some rope made me laugh out loud. And I sure hope to be able to see his attempts.

Better stay inside the house and hide your laughing face behind the curtains!  :laugh:


What language do these neighbors speak?  :orly:

That is the problem with we Royals.  We never throw anything away because it's historical.  I think I'm using Henry VIII's chair.  Re-using items has kept us rich.  We shouldn't have to buy anything for centuries, although I may visit a certain purveyour of quality goods named Parts.

I have heard of him too, Your Majesty! He knows all about fine old machinery and things of that nature!  :viking:
