Today I helped my cousin clean up Grandma's yard. We trimmed trees and weeded flowerbeds. The highlight was me chopping a co-dominant stem off a vine maple tree in one of the flowerbeds. I got the old ax out of the garage, sharpened it and chopped the stem off. Chopping the tree was an amazing amount of fun. I love cutting down trees. When I was a kid I used to chop down trees just for fun.
How did I not end up as a logger?
Rachel Finley took pictures of me chopping away at the tree. You may see them at the following location:
