I worked hard using the Fiskars Stik on the magnolia tree and piling the trimmings into garbage cans until my back hollered, “STOP!”

I’ll probably use the chain saw on the heavier branches tomorrow.

I should be chopping down tall weeds in the side gardens and on the pond area but I haven’t the energy to do it.

I wonder if our yard will ever look nice again.

I want to cry every time I go out there these days.

Yard two months ago…much worse now.
