A little work won't kill you...I guess

Wednesday, as forecasted the night before, was cloudy with scattered showers. If it had been a little warmer it would have felt muggy as well. All in all it was a good day to take on the fallen tree clean up. I didn't work continuously, doing some blog writing and reading during snack and lunch breaks but by 5:30 I had the work part done. Stacked the cut lengths for future splitting, dragged the cut up branches into the woods and raked up the scattered remains and made them disappear. The price to be paid was in the lower back and abdominal muscles which were hurting after sitting a bit and still bothersome today. I'm taking some ibuprofen which helps. So, given the weather I made the most of the day. Didn't see a person to talk to all day (did speak with Carol and Ian on the phone), Patches was paid a visit by a neighbor's Labrador retriever, whom he promptly ignored as only Patches can.

Stacked almost artsy.

A clean sweep and almost back to normal.

In yesterday's blog I dismissed the possibility of any sunset photos but late in the afternoon the sun broke through and the sky gradually cleared, the breeze settled down and the clouds pretty much disappeared so I did take some photos after all. Not spectacular but nice nonetheless.
