Yard Work

So the plan was to mow the grass last night.  No big deal.  But there is this branch of a crepe myrtle tree that is always in the way.  So D said, I'm tempted to get the chain saw out and cut it off.  Which she did.  

But since the chain saw was out, and running, we figured we'd get a couple other "branches" in other parts of the yard cut that were also in the way.  

Cutting the branches led to cutting a volunteer tree (or 20) that come up throughout the yard.

And somehow through all of the cutting down of trees, 

we still managed to get the grass cut.  Because, of course, the front little strip 

had to be cut before we could haul the crap down there for trash day.

So we have two VERY LARGE piles of cut trees and bushes.  

The piles of trees were so high, I couldn't see D standing behind them.  

I hope the big debris truck takes them all.

The piles of trees and branches that we hauled to the front for trash day, 

but the pictures don't even begin to do it justice! 

The sad part is, we didn't even make a dent in the amount of stuff we 

needed to cut out of the yard.  We maybe got an 1/8th of it done.
