A Man and His Chainsaw

Moving to the mountains means the chainsaws are getting a workout. That also means this old ranch wife is getting a workout too. 😂

We're looking to have some abnormally warm weather this week and DH has been itching to trim some of the trees around our place before they begin to bud out. They were in dire need of trimming so last Tuesday and Wednesday we got busy

But DH was having way too much fun and the junipers and pinon did not escape without a good pruning either

And he kept cutting

And cutting

And cutting

And I kept stacking

And stacking

And stacking

27 loads scooped up

and hauled away

And while he was making the skid steer runs, I'd run over and work on the chicken yard - adding more hog rings to secure the wire

Always grateful for good help

Okay, dear, it's time to step away from the chainsaw. 

Your wife is smoked, dog-tired, knackered... she's so tuckered out that just one adjective won't suffice. I'm trying to not let the old man (gal) in, but surely she's earned a nap!
