I\u2019m enjoying the stories in the comments section of the last post. You guys are hilarious. This will not be the last you hear on this topic. More soon.<\/p>\n

Well Fed<\/p><\/div>\n

But on to other things, like: Saturday. Good-ness. You guys in Seattle know what I\u2019m talking about, no? Sunny, warm and 65 F. It\u2019s difficult to know exactly what to do with yourself on a day like that in March. There are so many things. Paul and Josie were at \u201csoccer class\u201d so I pulled on some old denim and an old sweatshirt and slipped my clippers into one pocket and my i-pod into the other and ventured into the jungle that is our yard.<\/p>\n

Liberated<\/p><\/div>\n

I selected some summer music (Spoon) and went to work. I upgraded from the clippers to loppers; then from loppers to the saw. Perhaps I should have stepped aside for a moment to consider my actions when I retrieved the saw. Perhaps that should have been a sign that I was getting carried away. We\u2019ve got some old shrubs in our yard that have turned to trees. Unhappy, unhealthy trees. They needed to be liberated. They told me this.<\/p>\n

I spent the morning chopping and pulling and wandering around the yard dirty and breastless. Oh no. Did I just say that aloud? Yes indeed. Does it make you uncomfortable? It shouldn\u2019t. Really, it\u2019s like talking about the gap between my front teeth. It\u2019s just the way it is. I wear prosthetics. They\u2019re heavy and hot. That’s all (for now).<\/p>\n

By the time I was done, the trees were about half of what they were. Maybe they\u2019ll love their new looks. Maybe they\u2019ll die. Who cares?<\/p>\n

Casualties<\/p><\/div>\n

It was a good day and hopefully good enough to get us through the next 11 days of rain predicted in our 10 day forecast.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re outside Seattle, I hope spring reaches you soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
