I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay

[greatbear]

The cursed tree is no more. Jeff and I dispatched it this morning in a couple hours time. And I'm not even the worse for wear to boot. So, it's not just one glaring reminder of events from the past that has been eliminated, but a hopeful sign that I am going to return to my old self once more.

I have still a lot of cleaning up to do in the area where the tree fell. It broke up or damaged several bushes and small trees when it came down, plus there is a lot of weeds and brush that came up around the neglected area all spring and summer. There is also the huge root and base that will have to be dealt with in the future. I can handle that later by renting a stump grinder. I have to cut down some other damaged or dead trees as well, so I will do that before dealing with the stumps.

I'm looking forward to the me that I used to be. :)
