yard work is my cardio
last fall i pulled a couple of cubic yards of material out of my front and side yard as a result of pruning.
this week i've done about the same again. i have a real problem with vines that take over trees and shrubs. they're particularly bad along one side of my house, where they weighted some tree branches to the point that they dislodged a gutter. my goal was to put the gutter back together; once i was up on the ladder i realized that job one was removing a lot of plant material first.
this week also features a cat who is improving noticeably, and the realization that i could have hired someone to fix my fence (back when it still kind of existed) and it wouldn't have cost that much, really. i'm getting estimates on having a new fence put in, one that will keep reese in the back yard.
it's sort of weird that helms' funeral was at gran's old church. i think i knew he was a member of that church (and it certainly comes as no surprise). i wonder if the minister who officiated gran's funeral also did his. they say that cheney was coming to town today for the funeral.
i wonder if he'll be buried in the same cemetery as gran and her family.

I think I got stuck behind Cheney's motorcade ... or that of somebody really "important," on my way home from work yesterday. Even in death Helms is a pain in my ass.
