At the end of this past winter, I discovered I had a bad, dead leaner tree over my "big bed" flower garden. Broken off at the bottom and hung up in the maple and the mulberry.
Dan (trail friend) stopped by with a small chain saw. He knew how to deal with the tree without getting either one of us killed or maimed.
It actually twisted a bit coming down, so it didn't even land on the flowers! Dan cut up the large sections enough that I can move them. He also helped me move something that was too heavy for me to do alone. I really appreciated all the help!
My car had some repairs done, so I got in 3 miles of walking with dropping that off and picking it up, bell choir practice, some editing, and a couple of other things. I feel like it was a full day.
Miles hiked in 2025: 144.7

Always good to have help with the heavy lifting. Nice that you have a place close enough to take your car for repairs that you can walk.
Ann- since I've abandoned several car repair places for lying to me, it is a special blessing that my current one is only 1.5 miles from my house
Java Bean: "Ayyy, our Dada has a little electric chainsaw that he uses for stuff like this! Whenever he gets it out, Mama stands by with the phone ready to call 911 just in case anybody gets a foot lopped off ..."
Bean- very handy tool! I'm thinking of getting an even smaller one for pruning (and cutting autumn olive)
