September Days

I am so sore from working outside that I thought I would stay indoors and focus on some online income but the weather was too good to ignore. It was one of those cool dewy mornings that became a clear sunny warm fall day with just enough breeze to blow the summer out of the air. It's days like this that I feel I need to trim or burn or dig or do something dramatic.

I trimmed the backyard trees and bushes. Ojichan's wisdom was aim for no more than three main branches per branch and as you go up the trunk, lower level branches shouldn't touch the next layer up.

I'm still working on removing Bermuda grass from around the trees - once that takes root it is so hard to remove. But gradually, I am seeing dirt around the trees and the yard is taking shape!
